ADM Gallery | London, United Kingdom
Featuring Anna Dobrovolskaya-Mints
Anna Dobrovolskaya-Mints' Zero F*cks Given project explores how far you can get by simply looking up.

The images turn our gaze away from the violence that humans inflict on each other and towards the cosmos. Dobrovolskaya-Mint's aesthetic approach to digital photography challenges the conventional boundaries between the medium, the image and its components.

The Shona art form represents a significant artistic tradition, predominantly practised in the countries of Zimbabwe and Mozambique. This art genre is particularly renowned for its exceptional stone sculptures, which have exerted a considerable influence on contemporary European art through the utilisation of specific materials, the application of distinctive techniques, the consideration of particular aesthetic principles and the exploration of specific themes. The tradition of Shona art has a history that spans over a thousand years. The subject matter of Shona art is diverse, encompassing both abstract forms and figurative depictions. Themes of the family, spirituality, human emotions and the connection to nature are recurrent throughout the art form.
At this year's event, the Theiler Art Gallery from Brienz is devoting particular attention to the works of Brighton Sango and Nicholas Mukomberanwa, with a view to providing a comprehensive overview of their contributions to the Shona art tradition.
The artistic practice of Brighton Sango (1958-1995) can be categorised as abstract. In his sculptures, which evoke the style of Cubism, Sango presents flat surfaces and changes of direction with a notable lightness, a quality that is otherwise predominantly associated with contemporary steel sculpture. Nicholas Mukomberanwa (1940-2000) is internationally acknowledged as one of Zimbabwe's most distinguished sculptors. In the formative stages of his artistic career, he elected to utilise uncomplicated, circular forms to represent African cult figures and religious scenes. As his oeuvre progressed, he developed an increasingly complex geometric style, which he expanded through the use of sharp lines and surfaces to create a far-reaching abstraction with an overwhelming monumental expression.
