Olaf Breuning’s new painting ventures back to nature, and the pressing environmental concerns we face today. By employing elements found within nature to discuss nature itself, Breuning recreates rough landscapes by incorporating the usage of pieces of cut wood to explore the foreseeable circumstances of mankind’s detrimental actions.
Sara Rahbar’s artwork involves collecting found, iconographic two-dimensional media and collating them; a procedure that encompasses her artistic practice. In her new series of collage works, called Animals, are assembled from cut-outs of vintage history books, and focus on the formalisation of emotions of pain, fear and violence that underlay her study of the complex human condition. Rahbar's assemblages depict themes of military strife and warfare, and follow a deeply cathartic process in their creation.
Philip Mueller’s new, large-scale and intensely colored painting is a cinematic glimpse into the intricately fabricated universe that encapsulates his whole body of work. By intertwining both fiction and reality, his works follow the complex affairs of characters that reside in the fictional anti-resort: Beach Resort Tiberio; whose occupants are derived from Mueller’s daily life and brought into a Neo-Romantic light in his works.
Amba Sayal-Bennett’s new drawings delve into her analytical interpretation of her surroundings. By appropriating linguistic methods such as translation and notation, Amba Sayal-Bennett considers how one's material environment can be encountered as a 'live surface’. Sayal-Bennett considers their performative aspects: what cuts they make between what is included and excluded from consideration. Her drawings observe how experience can be reduced to basic terms of line, color and shape, and how these translated elements change through transposition.

About FAIR
The New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is pleased to present FAIR, built in partnership with Artlogic. FAIR is a new art fair initiative designed to be entirely online, function cooperatively, and act as a benefit for NADA’s community of galleries, nonprofits and artists. Taking place May 20–June 21, 2020, FAIR will directly support 119 NADA Gallery Members and 81 other galleries that have been financially impacted by the COVID-19 crisis, totaling nearly 200 galleries around the world.
FAIR offers an alternative profit-sharing model, structured to facilitate mutual support within the art community and provide revenue to each of its participants during a time in which galleries have temporarily closed their physical locations. A percentage from each sale made from FAIR will directly benefit all participating galleries and artists. In addition, a percentage of each sale will go towards supporting NADA for their efforts in producing FAIR, their continued work as an organization for art galleries, through this time of crisis and beyond.
Each participating gallery will present a series of artworks over four-weeks with the opportunity to share new artworks each week. The initiative will also feature a series of online performances, studio visits and talks to complement the artworks presented by participating galleries and artists. FAIR, produced in collaboration with Artlogic, utilizes their Online Viewing Rooms service and is generously hosted by them.
