Lehmann Maupin: Kim Yun Shin, ‘Add Two Add One’

Pioneering Korean artist Kim Yun Shin’s solo exhibition with Lehmann Maupin spans No.9 Cork Street and the gallery’s New York space. Kim emerged as a key voice in the post-war South Korean art scene, overcoming societal norms to work as a female sculptor in a male-dominated sphere. Featuring paintings and sculptures from the 1990s to the present, this London exhibition traces Kim’s artistic development, her influences derived from her early nomadic life, and her connection to the natural and spiritual worlds around her, which, aged 90, she continues to explore in her studio in Paju, South Korea.

THIS IS NO FANTASY: Johnathon World Peace Bush, ‘Walking Between Two Worlds’

First Nations Australian artist Johnathon World Peace Bush paints with natural pigments in the three colours of Tiwi land – white, yellow and red. Reimagining anthropological images, Bush’s works depict Tiwi people and colonial figureheads, combining ceremonial ornament and body-paint design with Western art-historical imagery.

Vadehra Art Gallery: Astha Butail, ‘A Transcendent Force’

Astha Butail makes her solo London debut with ‘A Transcendent Force’, presented by Vadehra Art Gallery and curated by Linsey Young. The exhibition consists of seven recent installations and sculptures, alongside mixed media works on paper, textile and wood, rendered in a predominantly monochromatic palette. Using geometric forms, Butail interrogates how different elements of an entity come together to form a whole.
