Press Release

Bartha_contemporary is delighted to announce Christian Furr’s first exhibition at the gallery entitled Fish & Cheese. The exhibition features a series of recent paintings of cheeses and seafood.

A sense of humour and joy signify these paintings that skillfully elevate the mundane. Set on monochromatic backgrounds, these loosely painted icons showcase a genuinely singular style that lends the subjects a remarkable presence while reimagining still lives in a contemporary context.

—

In 1995, at the age of 28, Christian Furr became the youngest artist to paint HM Queen Elizabeth II after the Queen personally chose him to be commissioned by the Royal Overseas League.

Furr’s successive works have adorned the walls of The National Portrait Gallery, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the private collection at the Vatican. In 2019, he had a mid-career retrospective at the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum.

The exhibition is on view by appointment until November 17th.

About the Gallery

Established at the turn of the century by Niklas and Daniela von Bartha, the London-based gallery, Bartha Contemporary, places a strong emphasis on non-figurative and conceptual works by mostly established American and European contemporary artists. Hailing from the second generation of the art-dealing von Bartha family, Niklas, along with his wife Daniela, maintains a retrospective look at underappreciated modernising movements of the past in the gallery programme, whilst championing the latest works of contemporary artists.
