Gazelli Art House

Contemporary art gallery in London and Baku showcasing more than 25 established UK and international artists.

Founded in 2010 by Mila Askarova, Gazelli Art House, London, has been committed to bringing a fresh perspective to Mayfair through championing artists from all corners of the globe, focusing on those at the height of their practice, presenting and contextualising their work to new audiences. With sister gallery Baku, the gallery specialises in promoting art from Azerbaijan and its neighbours to fu

rther a greater understanding of the rich linguistic, religious and historical ties that connect this geography. Since 2015, the gallery has expanded to support artists working in digital art through its online platform GAZELL.iO. Most recently, in 2020, it established the GAZELL.iO Project Space and VR Library, the first permanent home dedicated to digital art in Mayfair.

Last chance to see After the Dataset on HEK’s virtual exhibition platform , until 31st of May.

Presented by following the gallery’s selection through the Friends of HEK Open Call, the exhibition brings together works by Memo Akten & Katie Hofstadter, Nouf Aljowaysir, Morehshin Allahyari, Brendan Dawes, Jake Elwes, and Matteo Zamagni.

Exploring machine learning, generative systems, and simulation, After the Dataset examines how AI shapes cultural memory, imagination, and visual knowledge. Drawing from archives, mythology, and ecological systems, the exhibition considers how datasets both inherit existing assumptions and generate entirely new visual languages.

Following the acquisition of Z**i in Motion: A Deepfake Drag Utopia (Movement by Wet Mess) (2023) into SFMOMA’s permanent collection, Gazelli Art House is delighted to announce a major presentation of the piece at the museum from 23 May through September 2026.

Installed within SFMOMA’s Evelyn and Walter Haas, Jr. Atrium, the large-scale multi-channel installation brings together 21 life-size AI-generated drag performers across a monumental LED display. Developed in collaboration with London-based drag artists, the work forms part of Elwes’ ongoing Z**i Project (2019–present), which explores the intersections of artificial intelligence, drag performance, q***rness, and representation.

Animated through the choreography and movement of legendary drag performer Wet Mess, the installation intentionally foregrounds the glitches and failures of deepfake systems, exposing the biases embedded within machine learning technologies while reclaiming AI as a space for q***r visibility, experimentation, and collective expression.

The presentation will coincide with a live performance of The Z**i Show at SFMOMA on 28 May 2026.

With thanks to Rudolf Frieling, Karen Cheung, and the entire SFMOMA team.

Artwork of the Week: Ruhlar of the Forest V (2026) by Elnara Nasirli 👁️‍🗨️

Emerging from blurred motion studies, the figures within Nasirli’s Ruhlar of the Forest series appear suspended between human presence and the movement of trees in the wind. Gestural marks dissolve across the canvas like branches, shadows, or passing spirits, with “ruhlar” translating from Azerbaijani as spirits.

Created with Air Ink, a pigment produced from pollution collected in Delhi, alongside spray paint on canvas, the work holds a striking contradiction. Pollutants are transformed into something atmospheric, fluid, and alive. What once clouded the air becomes a meditation on nature, memory, and renewal.

Rooted in environmental technology and biotechnology, Nasirli’s wider practice spans painting, sculpture, sound, and immersive installation. Her ongoing project Whispering Forest explores invisible ecological systems and shared environmental histories across the Caucasus, inviting viewers into moments of stillness, listening, and reflection.

This May, Gazelli Art House presents Taste and Decency, a group exhibition bringing into dialogue pioneering female figures of Pop Art with a younger generation of contemporary artists, including Rosie Gibbens, Jann Haworth, Rachel Maclean, Olivia Sterling, and Idelle Weber. From the rise of mass advertising and consumer culture in the 1960s to today’s environment of self-advertising, digital performance, and constant image circulation, the exhibition examines how bodies, desires, and social behaviours are shaped for public view.

📍Gazelli Art House, London
🗓️ Private View: 28 May, 6–8pm
🗓️ Exhibition: 29 May – 11 July 2026

Last chance to see Kalliopi Lemos: A Tide of Roses at Gazelli Art House London, on view until 16 May.

Across this new body of work, Lemos turns towards petal, colour, light, and atmosphere, translating longstanding questions around memory, displacement, fragility, and care into a more intimate visual language.

Roses drift across luminous fields of colour, unfolding between abstraction and bodily presence, while sculpture and installation continue her enduring exploration of vulnerability, resilience, and human passage.

As curator John Kenneth Paranada writes, “the rose becomes a visual form capable of holding love, grief and memory simultaneously.”

Visit the exhibition and online viewing room before the exhibition closes this Saturday.

Now open across Venice.

This year’s Biennale sees artists from across the Gazelli Art House programme presenting projects throughout the city, from immersive environments and ecological research to site-responsive installations and large-scale public interventions.

Chris Levine’s Higher Power launches this week above San Clemente Island, projecting a monumental laser beam into the Venetian sky, while As Above, So Below opens at Fabbrica H3, Giudecca, a major Collateral Event of the Biennale curated by Elizabeth Zhivkova and Farah Piriye Coene. Bringing together works by Marshmallow Laser Feast, Elnara Nasirli, Yoko Shimizu, Antoine Bertin, Almagul Menlibayeva with Suad Gara, Andrea Crespi, and Orkhan Mammadov, the exhibition explores interconnection, deep-ocean ecologies, bioacoustics, and environmental systems through immersive installation, sound, moving image, and AI.

Primavera De Filippi’s Strange Rules, curated by Mat Dryhurst, Holly Herndon, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, is also now on view at Palazzo Diedo.
Coinciding with the Biennale, Gazelli Art House is also presenting LIGHT — Selected Works by Chris Levine in the London Project Space.

Allen Jones at the Met Gala 2026✨

At this year’s Met Gala, Kim Kardashian appeared in a bespoke look by British Pop artist Allen Jones, extending his long-standing exploration of the body across sculpture, image, and design.

A leading figure of British Pop, Jones emerged in the 1960s following his studies at Hornsey College of Art and the Royal College of Art. Working across painting, sculpture, and print, his highly stylised practice draws on Surrealism and German Expressionism, confronting themes of desire, identity, and the constructed body. His work is held in major collections including the Tate, Museum of Modern Art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The design revisits Jones’ Body Armour (1978), where the body becomes both structure and surface, collapsing distinctions between clothing and object. The work later re-entered the spotlight in a repurposed version worn by Kate Moss in 2013. Decades on, this visual language reappears within a contemporary cultural context, where art, image, and visibility intersect.

Jones’ work was recently included in The Way Forward at Gazelli Art House, alongside Derek Boshier, tracing the continued resonance of British Pop today.

Following our Venice Biennale announcement, Chris Levine’s Higher Power is now live!

A single, high-intensity beam projects from San Clemente into the Venetian sky; precise, sustained, and far-reaching. Using a repurposed military-grade laser, Levine distils light to its purest form, carrying a continuous frequency conceived as an act of focus and alignment.

Visible across the lagoon, the work proposes a subtle but direct gesture: look up. Light, here, operates as both medium and intention ✨

Today we celebrate what would have been Harold Cohen’s 98th birthday (1928–2016).

A pioneer of computer art, Cohen worked at the intersection of art and artificial intelligence from the late 1960s, developing AARON—one of the first AI programs capable of producing drawings autonomously. His work was exhibited widely, including at Tate, Institute of Contemporary Arts, Whitechapel Gallery, LACMA and SFMOMA.

After studying at Slade School of Fine Art, he rose to prominence as a painter, representing Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1966. He later moved to the US, where time at Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory shaped his pioneering work in machine-generated art.

Over subsequent decades, Cohen exhibited internationally, including at Documenta 6, while continuing his research at University of California San Diego, where he led the Centre for Research in Computing and the Arts.

He continued developing AARON throughout his life, receiving the ACM SIGGRAPH Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement in Digital Art in 2014. His work remains foundational, shaping how we understand creativity in relation to code and machines.

Ahead of the London Marathon this Sunday, we highlight Derek Boshier’s Chemical Track (2008).

Two runners surge forward through a charged, fragmented landscape—bodies in motion, pushed to their limits. Boshier’s bold, graphic language turns the track into a psychological terrain, where rhythm, speed, and pressure collide. The fractured, almost pixel-like forms begin to break apart the figure itself, hinting at both physical strain and the wider forces shaping contemporary life.
