Ten years on, we present a special two-part exhibition during March and April 2016 to celebrate the art and artists of Artereal and its exciting and organic evolution since 2006 when collector Luisa Catanzaro realised a long-held ambition to establish the gallery.

Innovation and experimentation reflect the approaches of both the gallery and its artists who are working at the forefront of contemporary practice. X/I, (as is X/II) is a mix of both newly commissioned works with some from our history by all represented artists alongside artists with whom the gallery has significant exhibiting relationships.

Conversations around identity, spirituality, environmental impacts, the phenomenon of light and the politics of gender continue through the decade, presented in media ranging across performance, photo-media, sculpture, painting, printmaking and installation.

The glowing neon sculpture, Here . I Am, by Noula Diamantopoulos was commissioned for the anniversary exhibitions. It signals both a sense of arrival and a cryptic philosophical and spiritual conundrum characteristic of the artist’s question-based Quest performances and her multi-media practice.
