PATRICIA LOW CONTEMPORARY

Established in Gstaad in 2005, Patricia Low Contemporary is a Swiss art gallery specialising in Cont Moritz.

Established in Gstaad in 2005, Patricia Low Contemporary is a Swiss gallery specializing in Contemporary art. The focus is primarily on introducing the most prominent international artists to our audience, with an emphasis on the legacies of Neue Wilde, Contemporary German Painting, Young British Art, Contemporary Photography, Post-Feminism, and Pop. Pivotal artists who have exhibited in the galle

ry at the height of their careers include André Butzer, Sylvie Fleury, Peter Halley, Axel Hütte, Bjarne Melgaard, Jonathan Meese, Marc Quinn, Anselm Reyle, Katharina Sieverding, Gavin Turk, and Thomas Zipp. In December, 2011, Patricia Low Contemporary expanded by opening a second larger space in St. Both Alpine galleries are centrally located and ideal for viewing cosmopolitan world-class art while providing inspiration to artists, curators, and clients alike. The program has also evolved to include newly emerging positions in contemporary art such as Gabriel Vormstein, Sebastian Hammwöhner, and Nathan Mabry. PLC offers an innovative, diverse, and multi-platformed program of solo and curated group exhibitions running concurrently at each venue. The gallery participates in select international art fairs while also advising on secondary market works by key figures such Damien Hirst, Robert Indiana, Takashi Murakami, and many others. Major artists – including Thomas Zipp and Marilyn Minter – have organized group exhibitions at the gallery, providing insight into their influences, thought processes, and creative networks. Patricia Low Contemporary has a strong commitment to facilitating the artistic process and actively encourages innovative practice. From 2007 to 2009 the gallery ran the Maison Jaune residency program in Gstaad, where invited artists created site-specific work; though the residency is now on hiatus, the chalet location is still used by many of the gallery artists as a studio retreat. From 2009 to 2012 the gallery held operations in Geneva, presenting strong exhibitions from the roster of gallery artists and dynamic group shows such as Pop my Cherry a critically hard-hitting exhibition focusing on the glamour of pop.

“My works are NOT copies”. - Barry X Ball

Ahead of the Venice Biennale 2026, we visited Barry X Ball in his brooklyn studio where he reflected on the relationship between robotics, technology, and craftsmanship within his practice.

In this video, Barry discusses how robotic elements can coexist alongside 10,000 hours of handwork - producing something that a human simply could not.

He asks: if a sculpture can be realised from a cubic block of material by hand alone, why not allow technology to extend what is possible?

Open now: ‘The Shape of Time’, by Barry X Ball.

For information on works available, please get in touch with the gallery.

Now on view: ‘The Belt of Venus’, by British painter Daniel Crews-Chubb (), at Patricia Low Contemporary Venice.

Crews-Chubb explores Mythology as a way of understanding our own life and death. Thoughts of life and death often occupy the artist, looking to ancient civilisations and the universal attributes we may find not too dissimilar from the contemporary. The show is titled ‘The Belt of Venus’ due to a use of a specific shade of pink; the one before sunrise and just after sunset.

‘The Belt of Venus’ by Daniel Crews-Chubb is presented from May 6 until August 15, 2026, at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice.

For further information on works and availability, please get in touch with the gallery directly.

Frustrated at his inability to solve ‘Magic Eye’ puzzles like his father could, Daniel Crews-Chubb reflects on an early influence which extends into his current research on pareidolia.

Crews-Chubb’s ‘The Belt of Venus’ brings together six new monumental paintings that extend his exploration of the human form into increasingly abstract territory. Taking its title from the atmospheric phenomenon seen just before sunrise or after sunset, the exhibition is held together by a pinkish, celestial afterglow that directly informs the palette, creating works that feel both otherworldly and grounded in the body.

At the centre of the exhibition is pareidolia: the psychological instinct to find recognisable images within abstract or chaotic forms. Daniel plays with the minimum visual information needed for the viewer to construct a figure, face, or limb in their mind. His paintings sit on a charged threshold between abstraction and figuration, inviting the eye to search, assemble, and question what it is seeing.

Across these large-scale canvases, bodies appear as single, almost immortal figures or as dense groupings emerging “out of chaos”. While rooted in art history, mythology, and classical sculpture, the figures resist being fixed or passively consumed. Instead, they remain powerful, mysterious, and self-possessed, existing in the space between the painted surface and the viewer’s own perception.

Opening tomorrow: ‘The Belt of Venus’: a solo exhibition featuring British painter Daniel Crews-Chubb (), at Patricia Low Contemporary Venice.

Daniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984, London, England) makes compelling works that employ a traditional expressionistic, painterly language amid a conceptual framework investigating the potency of the iconic image and the dramatic dynamism of historic and contemporary visual language. In his upcoming exhibition he continues his ongoing exploration into mythological understandings of existence.

Based in London, Crews-Chubb studied at Turps Art School and the Chelsea College of Arts in London. His work can be found in many public and private collections such as The Long Museum in Shanghai, the Saatchi Gallery in London, and the Hall Art Foundation in Vermont.

‘The Belt of Venus’ by Daniel Crews-Chubb is presented from May 6 until August 15, 2026, at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice.

There’s only 2 days left to visit Cables of Cobwebs, our latest group exhibition at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice. Featuring 8 international artists across multiple disciplines - we’re so thankful for the varied response in conversation with themes of nature, humanity, and the intertwining of such. Thank you to all of the artists for bringing your beautiful works to Venice.

Cables of Cobwebs brings together Layla Andrews, Anouk Lamm Anouk, KV Duong, Julie Hamisky, Melissa Kime, Yaya Yajie Liang, Enrique Martínez Celaya and Alexandria Smith. Across painting and sculpture, the exhibition traces a shared language shaped by nature, instinct and memory - where landscapes hold feeling, animals mirror human experience, and organic forms carry a quiet, transformative energy.

Cables of Cobwebs is only on view at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice until 2 May 2026.

London-based artist Daniel Crews-Chubb speaks ahead of his exhibition for Venice Biennale 2026.

The Belt of Venus brings together six new, monumental paintings by Daniel Crews-Chubb. The exhibition takes its title from the atmospheric phenomenon visible shortly before sunrise or after sunset, an ethereal pinkish band that separates the earth’s dark shadow from the brightening sky. This distinct afterglow serves as the direct inspiration for the artist’s colour palette. It permeates the exhibition, radiating within the gallery space and uniting the works through hues that feel simultaneously celestial and heavily grounded in the flesh. Within this atmospheric glow, Daniel extends his career-long interrogation of the human form into increasingly abstract territory, deliberately testing the limits of our perception.

At the core of these new works is an active exploration of pareidolia, the psychological phenomenon where the human brain instinctively imposes a recognisable image upon abstract or chaotic shapes. Because we are inherently social creatures, we are hardwired to look for the figure, constantly seeking out faces and limbs to make sense of the visual information in front of us. Daniel walks a precarious, brilliant tightrope between abstraction and figuration here. He plays with the absolute minimum visual data required for a viewer to construct a body in their mind. The paintings themselves are imposing in scale, demanding a physical engagement from the audience, yet the forms held within them refuse to be entirely pinned down or easily consumed.

The exhibition will open Tuesday 5 May 2026 at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice.

Enrique Martínez Celaya () (b. 1964, Havana, Cuba) is an artist, author, and former scientist whose work encompasses painting, sculpture, drawing, immersive environments, essays, poetry, and fiction. His practice examines the experience of the individual amid social, ethical, and existential conditions, and the capacity of art to widen perception and lend structure to meaning. These concerns take form through materials ranging from oil paint and bronze to tar, blood, and sugar, as he investigates the nature of art, memory, exile, and the legacies of history.

Enrique Martínez Celaya is presented as part of our group exhibition, Cables of Cobwebs, on view at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice until 2 May 2026.

Alexandria Smith () is a contemporary artist whose work considers how we experience image, space, and perception. Moving away from canvas, she works on layered wood panels, building compositions that emphasise structure, depth, and surface.

Her practice is informed in part by questions of visibility and access, particularly in relation to visual impairment. Through carefully constructed scenes, Smith creates paintings that invite a slower, more attentive way of looking—where details emerge gradually and perspectives shift. Working between figuration and abstraction, her compositions often incorporate symbolic elements such as windows, eyes, and architectural forms. These recurring motifs suggest multiple viewpoints at once, positioning her work within a broader conversation around contemporary painting and the act of seeing.

Alexandria Smith is presented as part of our group exhibition, Cables of Cobwebs, on view at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice until 2 May 2026.

Ahead of the 61st Biennale di Venezia we’re delighted to announce ‘The Belt of Venus’: a solo exhibition featuring British painter Daniel Crews-Chubb (), showing at Patricia Low Contemporary Venice.

Daniel Crews-Chubb (b. 1984, Northampton, United Kingdom) is a London-based painter whose energetic mixed-media works grapple with the human condition and the many forms of self-expression. Drawing on and reworking mythological imagery, his paintings evoke a sense of timeless narrative while remaining rooted in the present. His practice nods to Abstract Expressionism, particularly in the gestural, fragmented figuration reminiscent of Willem de Kooning, alongside a playful, improvisatory approach to collage that echoes the layered, sculptural sensibility of Robert Rauschenberg.

In The Belt of Venus, Crews-Chubbs presents a body of 6 paintings which extends the artists pursuit into understanding contemporary landscapes through mythological foundations, looking at pareidolia, perception and the relationship between the two. With its title taking inspiration from the afterglow of sunset, the colour palette draws from pinks and oranges whilst acknowledging mythological and classical forms - reflecting on femininity, fragmentation and the inevitability of decay.

‘The Belt of Venus’ by Daniel Crews-Chubb will be presented from May 6 until August 15, 2026, at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice.

For further information on works and availability, please get in touch with the gallery directly.

Artist Layla Andrews brings recurring crocodile-headed figures into focus throughout our latest group show - an uncanny, hybrid presence poised between animal and human. Holding two crabs in ‘We’re No Strangers’ (2024), the figure appears both tender and alert, its elongated form and exposed chest suggesting a state of vulnerability. In ‘A Table For Two’ (2025), the croc-figure appears passively at a dinner table.

Drawing on animal imagery as a way to navigate human experience, Andrews creates a space where the body becomes a site of transformation. Raised within a matriarchal household and informed by her mixed race heritage, her practice approaches storytelling as layered and intuitive- carrying traces of grief, resilience and inherited memory.

Based at Tracey Emin Foundation’s TKE Studios in Margate, Layla Andrews has developed a distinctive, materially driven approach to painting, where instinct and image unfold together on the canvas. Layla Andrews is presented as part of Cables of Cobwebs, on view at Patricia Low Contemporary, Venice until 2 May 2026.
