After being away a lot lately, #virtualstudiocreep is back to home routine, so it’s time for another selection of unsolicited studio views screen-grabbed during recent travels.

We (my phone and I), are kicking off with this group shot of @henrycurchod new canvases for (I believe) his upcoming solo w @galleryvacancy in Shanghai, with an added shot of some delicious drawings. Knowing how intense and awesome his surfaces and brain-twisting his images are, this is one not to miss for everyone going to Shanghai soon. Speaking of awesome surfaces and not-to-miss shows, @martyncross recently treated us with some scrumptious closeup shots of the new works in his studio ahead of a London solo w @halesgallery.
•
Continuing w pink vibes, how nice is this shot of @simondemeuter’s work that is part of the current show at @recife.project or this stack of new heavy-weight works by @jose_lerma_studio! Im enjoying the recent updates from @josedisagrees_ studio as he’s shifting things in his work, and after missing @adampaints show by a hair, Im looking fwd to the new works brewing at his Berlin art lab. A few studios out there can be compared to @marriapratts’s mayhem room, and this elegant action shot of @willcottonnyc is a perfect counterweight to that chaos.
•
I enjoyed this peek at mate-loving @francofasolijaz Barca studio, and @henry___swanson recently shared this nice workplace moment before the works left for his current solo w @planxgallery in Milan. Over in Denmark, @kaspersonne_artist is back to observing and immortalizing his surroundings and @manuelajaespil is also keeping the focus on landscapes while continuing on the work currently on view at @balcony_gallery. I always appreciate these intimate, candid shots of @quinteningelaere at work, these sweaty wip shots of @maciej.kosc paintings from his current milestone solo w @vetagaleria, or @edu_carrillog’s progress updates on the nice body of work he’s currently busy with. Finally, @julianpace working au plein air seems to hit differently and @cimasuperstar is back to square one at his art lair, which is exciting knowing how great his paintings are.

💥 Ayer visitamos Nave Oporto @naveoporto , un 💎 de Madrid.

👉 Asistimos a la presentación de HORNO CIEGO, el ultimo trabajo artístico de Ana Nance @anananceananance

🤩 Una propuesta plástica que va desde la fotografía a la instalación y la escultura a partir de una reflexión entorno al territorio, la arqueología y la narrativa autoreferencial.

🥰 El Lugar: una nave de antigua actividad textil que ha sido reconvertida en nueve estudios artísticos, generando no sólo un proyecto de convivencia y trabajo, sino un proyecto con efecto de comunidad.

📍Nave Oporto. Av. Pedro Diez , bajo Izq. Madrid.

Speaking of cartoons and painting, this is a VERY special one! Ever since my good friends @saracoriat and @eversiempre visited his studio back in Buenos Aires and shared their impressions (and photos), I’ve been a fan of @manuelajaespil. So I was very pleased to hear that @l21gallery will be having a solo presentation with him (opening on Fri), especially after I got to see this new series while visiting Madrid back in Nov.

Memories of Timothy Clarke comprises six new paintings in which #ManuelAjaEspil mixes classical, traditional painting and cartoons (Looney Tunes, to be precise), as well as his interest in digital technology. After years of working with the idea of building traditional painterly scenes featuring made-up characters influenced by the popular culture titans, the artist included AI as an important part of the process for this body of work. However pop-like that concept is doomed to be, his approach and technique transformed these images into timeless painterly artifacts of sorts. Sitting somewhere between nonsense and masterpiece, these paintings propose a unique way of blending the two or three differing worlds. And while originating from the virtual world, they are firmly intended for seeing with the naked eye (I’m aware of the irony).
•
Aya Espil started the process by asking AI to generate Looney Tunes-like characters as if painted by Rembrandt. The result captured the essence of what he was looking for and was used as a guideline. Not interested in recreating the generated images, they provided a model, a path within which he could focus on exploring the technique. “Most of the time I was working on these, I didn’t know what I was painting. It often felt like groping around in the dark of a room looking for the light switch,” the artist mentioned in the statement about these peculiar works, and it is great to see how loosely he approached “re-creating” them. In the end, painted with the thinnest layers of extra dry oils resulting in parched, crusty surfaces, these gloomy, melancholic paintings aren’t depictions of the cartoons teleported in another time and place, but Aya Espil’s “attempt to paint how the machine thinks.”
