LONDON CONTEMPORARY ART FAIR 2026 – 17TH EDITION April 24 – May 07, 2026

ITSLIQUID Group, is pleased to announce the opening of the 17th edition of LONDONCONTEMPORARY, which will take place in London at ELEMENTS Contemporary ArtSpace from April 24 to May 07, 2026. This edition brings together a compelling selection ofinternational artists whose practices engage with memory, identity, emotion, and narrative,offering an immersive exploration of the contemporary visual landscape.LONDON CONTEMPORARY 2026 centers on the evolving dialogue between body,identity, and space, investigating how contemporary individuals perceive themselves andrelate to the environments they inhabit, both physical and psychological. Structured aroundthe curatorial frameworks of LIQUID ROOMS and FUTURE LANDSCAPES, the exhibitionbrings together international artists whose practices explore the fluidity of perception, thefragmentation of identity, and the continuous negotiation between inner experience andexternal reality. Through this lens, the fair becomes a space of reflection on howconsciousness is shaped by cultural, emotional, and spatial conditions, inviting viewers toreconsider the boundaries between the self and the world.Within this context, Derin Çokşenim develops a visual language rooted in figurativeexpression and psychological inquiry, translating rational questioning into images thatbalance clarity and emotional depth; her practice reflects an early and consistentengagement with painting and photography, proposing a contemplative approach to thehuman figure, where observation becomes a tool for interpreting inner states through astructured yet sensitive pictorial language. A similar poetic and introspective dimensionunfolds in the work of Silvia Mariani, where absence, memory, and longing converge intofragile visual narratives suspended between presence and disappearance: her imageryoperates as a subtle threshold between emotional states, inviting the viewer into acontemplative space where identity is continuously reshaped through loss, desire, and thesearch for connection.The late practice of Gavino Pedoni (1945 - 2025) emerges from a profound connection toSardinian landscape and culture, developing a figurative language that resists narration infavor of transformation. Working primarily with oil on canvas and mixed techniques, Pedoniconstructs compositions in which matter and color become emotional carriers, generatinga silent yet powerful tension between equilibrium and depth - a deliberate withdrawal fromvisibility, affirming painting as an intimate and necessary act rather than a pursuit ofexposure. Within a broader exploration of visual culture and symbolic imagery, ArthurMirzoyan merges academic painting traditions with cinematic sensibility, creatingcompositions that oscillate between figuration and abstraction. Through refined drawing,layered color structures, and symbolic references to classical European art, he constructs images that evoke both timelessness and contemporary reinterpretation, exploring thetension between narrative construction and visual immediacy.Expanding the field of contemporary practice, Papia Ghoshal develops a multidisciplinaryapproach spanning painting, poetry, performance, music, and academic research; herwork is deeply informed by Tantric philosophy and the spiritual traditions of Bengal,particularly the Baul and Fakir practices through which she constructs visionaryenvironments where philosophy, body, and artistic experimentation converge, transformingartistic expression into a lived and performative experience. A similarly experimentalapproach to material and process characterises the practice of Pilar Xercavins Casas,whose abstract works emerge from an intimate dialogue with natural elements and organictransformation, used to reflect a deep engagement with nature as both medium andcollaborator, where chance, time, and environmental forces shape the final composition.Together, the selected artists articulate a multifaceted reflection on identity, memory, andperception, each contributing a distinct visual and conceptual approach to the evolvingunderstanding of the human condition.OPENINGApril 24, 2026 | 06:00 PM - 08:00 PMRSVP: info@itsliquid.comFree entry - Register hereEXHIBITION DAYSApril 25 - May 07, 2026Tuesday - Saturday | 11.00 AM - 05.00 PMELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space253 Hoxton Street, London N1 5LG
