SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Yuyu Zhitong: Serendipity
DESCRIPTION:The debut solo exhibition in the Middle East for the Chinese-born London-based artist\, known for her luscious sweeps of colour and a mordant wit (“Good Girls Go To Heaven\, Cool Girls Go Everywhere”). This show presents a new body of paintings that develops her intuitive yet disciplined approach to abstraction; working without preparatory sketches\, Zhitong allows each composition to emerge through a continuous process of construction and reconfiguration\, guided by trained intuition and attentive perception. Gesture\, rhythm\, and colour operate as structural elements\, shaping works that balance spontaneity with control. \nThe gallery says the exhibition title refers to the ability to recognise meaning within chance encounters: “for Zhitong\, painting becomes a site where intuition meets uncertainty\, and where form and significance emerge through observation rather than intention. Each work captures a moment of alignment between perception\, emotion\, and structure …”

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Kwang Hyun Kim: Flytrap Anthology
DESCRIPTION:A solo show for the Korean artist reflecting Kim’s belief that we live within a paradox where we can be both predators and shelter for one another. Says the gallery: “despite this contradiction we continue to reach outward\, to connect\, to hope and to build meaning. The exhibition becomes a meditation on the delicate and wilful act of living\, offering an intimate look at how desire\, solitude\, tenderness and contradiction coexist within every human heart …” \nKim’s father worked as a cartoonist\, his mother as an illustrator\, and he trained in traditional Korean painting: it’s no surprise his works are full of imagery\, narrative and symbolism with a strong vein of spiritual iconography and a distinctive visual language. The flytrap recurring in these paintings is a metaphor that suggests the inevitability of wounding each other and the emotional tension between intimacy and self-protection; within this ecosystem Kim places long-standing characters Pipzin (representing intuition and inner clarity) and Gatak (who “moves endlessly between cultivation and desire\, planting and harvesting\, seeking and resisting”). Refined brushwork and layered acrylic surfaces heighten this emotional landscape.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Whispers of Play
DESCRIPTION:A group show for three young Japanese artists that celebrates the playful sensibility at the heart of contemporary Japanese expression – “a sensibility that transforms familiarity into wonder\, nostalgia into dream” as the gallery has it. \nThese artists have used Japanese pop culture and anime icons as emotional textures rather than cultural symbols. Each work becomes a quiet act of translation\, between inner and outer worlds\, between collective memory and personal reverie. Yukari Nishi constructs scenes of estrangement and longing in a dreamlike vision of mid-century America with faceless\, non-human figures and cinematic settings. Koichi Yairi creates collages with irregularly shaped canvases and translucent layers to translate fragments of daily life into abstract narratives. NANA SAIAKU’s works recall the fragility of emotion and the resilience of youth.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED Cindy Bernhard: When the Eternal Breaks Through
DESCRIPTION:In the new body of work in this solo show\, Bernhard continues her exploration of surface as revelation “where paint radiates\, refracts\, and breathes … Each canvas becomes a threshold between the sacred and the screen\, where baroque intensity meets the language of our hyper-mediated age”. Her luminous\, cinematic\, often humorous paintings expand the boundaries of contemporary figuration\, transforming light itself into both subject and atmosphere. \nTo 16 December. \n

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Sebastian Hosu: Transmission
DESCRIPTION:The debut solo exhibition in Dubai by the German Romanian artist introduces a new body of work that captures human presence in flux figures that dissolve into their surroundings. Known for his monumental canvases and emotionally charged brushwork\, Hosu invites viewers into immersive environments where the human figure merges with landscapes of colour\, memory\, and motion; the monumental scale of these paintings is central to their power\, requiring viewers to encounter them not so much as images as environments. The intensity of the brushwork\, the spatial tension\, and the psychological presence of the figures reveal themselves in ways no reproduction can fully capture.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Zhou Song: Supernatural·Algorithm
DESCRIPTION:Zhou Song’s solo show echoes traditional Chinese landscape painting but employs symbolic imagery to explore relationships between nature\, technology\, and faith. The ‘anthropomorphic tree’ is central\, serving as a metaphor for nature’s alienation by technology – “these trees retain natural forms while merging with human features\, hinting at a future possibility: as algorithms silently infiltrate every corner of nature\, can it preserve its primal purity? Or will it inevitably fuse with human civilisation\, becoming an entirely new entity?”

The ‘anthropomorphic tree’ is central\, serving as a metaphor for nature’s alienation by technology – “these trees retain natural forms while merging with human features\, hinting at a future possibility: as algorithms silently infiltrate every corner of nature\, can it preserve its primal purity? Or will it inevitably fuse with human civilisation\, becoming an entirely new entity?” Song’s ‘Pencil trees’\, by contrast\, symbolise a primordial state. Their delicate lines and soft hues evoke tranquillity and harmony; yet pencils are also tools that embody human wisdom and carry the memory of civilisation. ‘Twisted candles’\, another key element\, suggest light\, hope\, and faith – but they are not just metaphors for religion and belief but profound meditations on hope and rebirth. They remind us that faith and hope remain even under technological upheaval. It’s a technologically transformed natural world that witnesses the collision of nature and technology and contemplates the future of humanity and faith … To 17 June.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Laura Garcia Karras: Eidolon
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by that French artist that explores “the spectral space between presence and absence\, giving form to what lingers just beyond perception” (the ancient Greek word ‘eidolon’ means phantom\, double\, or apparition). \nKarras’s works appear as delicate traces of something once vivid\, now fading\, like the echo of a body or the glimmer of a vanishing dream; the exhibition becomes a meditation on memory\, loss\, and the persistence of desire. As Karras writes: “We live surrounded by ghosts. Bodies fade\, but leave imprints. Desire wanes\, yet its echo remains. Artifice dazzles\, but beneath its glow\, matter disintegrates”.

DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by that French artist that explores “the spectral space between presence and absence\, giving form to what lingers just beyond perception” (the ancient Greek word ‘eidolon’ means phantom\, double\, or apparition). \nKarras’s works appear as delicate traces of something once vivid\, now fading\, like the echo of a body or the glimmer of a vanishing dream; the exhibition becomes a meditation on memory\, loss\, and the persistence of desire. As Karras writes: “We live surrounded by ghosts. Bodies fade\, but leave imprints. Desire wanes\, yet its echo remains. Artifice dazzles\, but beneath its glow\, matter disintegrates”. \nTo 17 May.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Mariana Oushiro: The Higher We Soar
DESCRIPTION:This solo exhibition by the Japanese-Brazilian artist marks the culmination of her V-Residency programme at Volery\, during which Oushiro has developed a new body of work that (according the gallery) “pushes the boundaries of abstraction\, inviting the viewer into a dynamic exploration of movement\, perception\, and spatial depth”. \nOushiro’s practice is characterised by bold strokes of colour and geometric forms\, drawing from the expressive vibrancy of Brazilian art and the precision of Japanese aesthetics. The Higher We Soar is “an invitation to experience abstraction as a visceral\, multi-sensory language—one that speaks to both the intellect and intuition\, navigating the space between rigour and release\, stillness and motion”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Edyta Hul: Savage System
DESCRIPTION:A solo exhibition by the Polish artist that “plunges into the fluid\, recursive entanglements of organic abstraction”\, as the gallery puts it. “Her work suggests an alternative realm – an autonomous system where anthropocentric hierarchies dissolve\, leaving behind a world governed by its own primal forces … Her paintings reject binary oppositions of culture and nature\, offering instead an unfolding field of organic proliferation\, independent of human intervention”.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Tyrrell Winston: Life in the Fast Lane
DESCRIPTION:Winston’s work blends art with sports culture\, transforming everyday objects – deflated basketballs\, cigarette butts\, even the signatures of artists and athletes –into pieces that challenge viewers to reconsider the significance of these items; the results “resonate with resilience\, legacy\, and cultural identity” (says the gallery). His subject is the parallel struggles of athletes and artists\, speed and sacrifice\, the repetitive nature of success and the unseen sacrifices that lead to greatness.

SUMMARY:LAST CHANCE Seulgi Kim: Ride the Wave
DESCRIPTION:Seulgi Kim’s first solo exhibition in the Middle East brings to Volery Gallery a deeply personal exploration of her emotional journey\,. The sea\, which plays a central role in her work\, becomes a metaphor for life’s turbulence and tranquillity; her depictions of crashing waves and steady rocks speak to resilience in the face of life’s challenges. And they feature her characteristic figures\, navigating the passage from childhood to adulthood\, boys and girls learning how to fit into their own individual adulthood – the innocence of youth is juxtaposed with the weight of adult responsibilities.

Hyperbole aside\, her colourful assemblies of geometrical areas and abstract lines owes something to street art\, something to postmodern abstraction\, maybe even something to Bridget Riley; they’re bold\, outspoken\, entertaining works. Recommended. \nTo 4 October. \nAbove: Ghizlane Agzenaï\, Totem Daupherm (2024)
