For the gallery’s first solo exhibition, Elliot Templeton Fine Arts presents a selection of five works by Alessandro Raho. Raho is best known for his series of portraits that feature intimate studies of figures – friends, family, and cultural icons alike – posed informally against a white backdrop. In this show, Raho’s paintings and drawings highlight his close friend and fellow artist, Ewan Gibbs. In the back room, two drawings by Gibbs are displayed alongside a selection from the British artist and poet David Robillard and a mystical, multi-chromatic glass mobile by Julia Condon.
This show marks twenty years since Raho’s previous New York solo presentation at Cheim and Read in 2003, which followed Raho’s first showing in the United States as part of the landmark 1996 exhibition ‘Brilliant!’ at the Walker Art Center.
