Artlyst - The Art Diary September 2024

My September Art Diary for Artlyst highlights a range of international exhibitions before returning to the UK for exhibitions at Hastings Contemporary, The Sainsbury Centre, The Fitzwilliam Museum and Elizabeth Xi Bauer. I also highlight two interesting art books, a new initiative by the Association of Art Historians and a charity auction jointly hosted by Bonhams and Hauser & Wirth:

'Also in Mallorca is Zupan & Zupan, an exhibition by father and daughter, Bruno and Natasha Zupan. Art critic Ed McCormick described Bruno Zupan’s work as such: “The real magic is in the paint surface itself, with its energetic bravura strokes, splashes, splatters, and drips forming a unified statement, as active, alive, and visually autonomous as an Abstract Expressionist work by de Kooning or Diebenkorn – yet simultaneously evoking the world outside the canvas … His rhapsodic brushwork and singular vision have garnered him a worldwide following among those who still seek beauty in the art of painting. Bruno Zupan is one of the last great romantics, and for that alone, his work is worth treasuring.” Zupan’s iconic technique using black filigree design over gold leaf was inspired by the Byzantine art of his homeland of Croatia. One of the ways in which he uses this style is to create images of churches that show the faithful moving towards love, “which is the basis of constructive religious belief”.'
