Haunch of Venison London presents an exhibition of ten of Britain’s most important post-war painters, revealing the story behind their art.

Haunch of Venison is pleased to present the first solo show in Britain by acclaimed Iraqi-born artist Ahmed Alsoudani. In this new series of paintings, Alsoudani continues his complex exploration of war and conflict, its physical atrocities and psychological consequences. Featuring deformed, almost bestial, figures twisting in vivid and surreal landscapes, these tableaux are often laced with a barbed or morbid humour in the manner of artists such as Francisco Goya and Max Beckmann among others. Imagery of devastation and violence abounds, with figures depicted at the moment of a dramatic transition –through fear or agony – from the human to the grotesque.

Haunch of Venison London is delighted to present Frank Stella: Connections, the most extensive exhibition of Stella’s work in the UK to date. This exhibition will examine Stella’s long and extraordinarily diverse career and will include works from 1958 to the present day.

Acclaimed London based designers Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby will present an ambitious new project for their debut exhibition at Haunch of Venison, London. Barber and Osgerby are two of the most innovative designers working in Britain today. Recently chosen to design the Olympic Torch for the London 2012 Games, they engage in many forms of design, from industrial design to architecture.

The Romanian artist Adrian Ghenie is widely regarded as one of the most exciting painters of his generation. Using found imagery and carefully constructed tableaux his seductive yet challenging figurative paintings explore complex ideas about history, memory and political and cultural extremism. For his first exhibition in London since 2009, Ghenie has marshaled an extraordinary array of references. His new works bring together figures including Charles Darwin, Josef Mengele, and Francis Bacon and subjects such as the English landscape tradition, eugenics and nuclear testing, in order to address complex ideas about the morality of scientific research, the possibilities of portraiture and the nature of evil.

Haunch of Venison is delighted to announce its fourth exhibition with Richard Long. Long is widely recognised as one of the most important artists to have emerged since the 1960s and is a pioneer of Land and Conceptual art. Walking in the landscape is the basis of Long’s practice but over the past 40 years he has extended his concerns to encompass photographic and text-based work, sculptures made in stone and wood, small-scale works using handprints and fingerprints on paper and driftwood, and monumental wall drawings made using mud and clay. Richard Long’s work is characterized by simplicity, precision and economy, yet explores conceptually complex themes and ideas. His works articulate ideas about time and space, relativity, natural forces and human experience.

Haunch of Venison is delighted to announce its first collaboration with the internationally acclaimed Italian artist Giuseppe Penone. Penone will show new and recent works in wood and bronze as well as documentation relating to a series of ground-breaking projects made in 1968 and an installation of his extraordinary ‘Skin of Graphite’ drawings. This will be the largest exhibition of Penone’s work to date in London.

Haunch of Venison London is delighted to present an exhibition of photographs by the internationally renowned filmmaker and artist Wim Wenders (b.1945). Bringing together almost 40 images, taken from 1983 to 2011, this show is Wim Wenders' highly anticipated second exhibition at Haunch of Venison since 2003. Entitled 'Places,strange and quiet', it will feature many photographs not yet exhibited in this country including several recent works.

Haunch of Venison presents its first UK exhibition of Eve Sussman and her ad hoc group of collaborators known as Rufus Corporation with a cinematic installation, photographs and flat screen video works.

To celebrate his inclusion in the major exhibition 'Watercolour' at Tate Britain (16 February - 21 August 2011), Haunch of Venison is pleased to present a solo show focusing on new and recent paintings by Swiss artist Uwe Wittwer (b. 1954). The exhibition, displayed in the gallery's Mezzanine space, carries on Wittwer's artistic research on the authenticity and truth of images and the role of the artist as image hunter and voyeur. Picking up recurrent motifs in the artist's oeuvre like Interior scenes, references to Old Flemish and Spanish Masters still lifes from the 17th and 18th century, and historical everyday life in Eastern Prussia, the works once more evoke a feeling of unease and gloominess which shimmers through their apparent exquisiteness and tranquility.

Haunch of Venison London is pleased to present the first major exhibition in the UK of the Korean artist Meekyoung Shin (b.1967) in February 2011. The exhibition will include a number of significant installations from Shin's ongoing 'Translation' project, in which virtuoso facsimiles of Chinese porcelain and Western classical sculpture are reinterpreted in soap.

German artist Susanne Kühn's first exhibition with Haunch of Venison introduces the artist's innovative blend of realistic light effects, fantastic architecture and figuration. Opening in February 2011, the exhibition will feature new work including paintings of landscapes and unsettling domestic interiors.

Haunch of Venison is pleased to announce Castellani e Castellani, a special exhibition of both new and seminal work by Enrico Castellani, one of Italy’s most influential artists, from November 11th 2011 to January 7th 2012. The show will feature new paintings that continue the dialogue set forth in his formative Angolare series as well as present his critically acclaimed Spazio Ambiente, a roomlike environment from 1970 that has rarely been exhibited publicly, and which is graciously on loan from the Fendi collection. Although created decades apart, the works exemplify Castellani’s signature style and merge art, space and architecture to transcend the confines of painting.

Haunch of Venison is delighted to present ‘Boundaries Obscured’ from 23 September to 3 November 2011, a group exhibition that will mark the gallery’s inaugural exhibition in its new Chelsea location at 550 West 21st Street. The show will feature new works by artists including Ahmed Alsoudani, Jake and Dinos Chapman, Kevin Francis Gray, Isca Greenfield-Sanders, Jitish Kallat, Patricia Piccinini, Peter Saul, Eve Sussman and Simon Lee, Gunther Uecker and Joana Vasconcelos. Several of the aforementioned artists will also have solo shows in the new space over the next year.

Together with the Estate of Jesus Rafael Soto, Haunch of Venison is pleased to present a major survey exhibition of the Venezuelan artist (1923 - 2005) from May 6th to July 1st 2011. This will be the first substantial exhibition of the artist in New York since his 1974 solo show at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York which later traveled to the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC. Soto is recognized as one of the most important and influential Latin American artists of the 20th century and is widely regarded as a defining figure of the kinetic arts movement.

Haunch of Venison is pleased to announce 'The Ocean Between' an exhibition of work by New York based artist Isca Greenfield-Sanders. Work in the exhibition will include selections from a ten-year period including works from Greenfield-Sanders' solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver entitled Light Leaks. New, large-format beach paintings will also be part of the exhibition. Earlier works have been borrowed from private collections in the New York region.

Haunch of Venison is pleased to announce Leon Ferrari's first solo gallery exhibition in New York since the acclaimed Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) exhibition 'Tangled Alphabets: Leon Ferrari and Mira Schendel' in 2009. The celebrated museum exhibition was the ninety-year-old Argentinian's first major exhibition in the United States despite being lauded as one of the most significant Latin American artist's of the twentieth century. Haunch of Venison's exhibition will feature thirty works spanning the artist's career from 1962 to 2010, including 10 of his wire sculptures and seminal "written drawings" which employ the gesture of handwriting and suggestions of language as conveyers of emotion. The exhibition will be on view from January 28th through March 5th 2011 and will coincide with the inaugural exhibition of the Augusto and Leon Ferrari Foundation at the Museo del Arte del Banco de la Republica in Bogota, Colombia.
