Exhibition Archive
Summer Group Show, 21 June - 1 August 2013. Ronchini Gallery is proud to present some of the most accomplished international photographers in a unique summer exhibition, which focuses on the diversity within the medium of photography. With seven photographers from six different countries, the exhibition introduces a range of techniques and motifs, creating a dialogue based simply on a medium.
Rebecca Ward: ''cow tipping, 12 April - 18 May 2013. Referencing Arte Povera, Rebecca Ward rarely uses a brush when painting, instead preferring traditional and found materials. Using an eclectic range of media including bleach, acrylic, spray paint, gouache and fabric dye, Ward continues her investigation of the relationship between the painted surface and its base.
Group Exhibition, The Uncanny, 16 January - 16 February 2013. The exhibition’s theme is partly inspired by Sigmund Freud’s celebrated 1919 essay of the same title. Based on the notion that the strange could not exist without the non-strange, Freud’s study pioneered the distinctive nature of the uncanny as a feeling of something not simply weird or mysterious but, more specifically, as something strangely familiar.
Olivo Barbieri, 30 November 2012 - 10 January 2013. Olivo Barbieri will unveil his first series of aerial photographs of London, as part of the latest chapter in his site specific_ series. The Italian artist has become known for his iconic take on urban spaces, photographing cities from the vantage point of a helicopter.
Conrad Marca-Relli: The Architecture of Action, 10 October - 24 November 2012. This exhibition, some 45 years after his first retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1967, brings together a selection of works spanning his expansive career, allowing the viewer to chart the evolution of this remarkable artist.
Group Exhibition, Time After Time, 6 September - 2 October 2012.

Italian Beauty, 17 February - 5 April 2012. Italian Beauty is a curatorial project with the critical aim of investigating the idiosyncrasies of Italian art of the mid-20th and 21st centuries, by comparing artists from different generations joined by a common thread.
