Mark Tansey is available for online reading from April 19 to May 18 as part of Artist Spotlight: Mark Tansey. The publication documents nine paintings made by the artist between 2006 and 2012. The works are painted in ultramarine, a color that combines the depth and complexities of black with the lightness and transparency of blue and that imparts the historicizing feel of the now-obsolescent blueprint. Each work is shown with numerous details, allowing the viewer to discover Tansey’s visual allegories and philosophical references within each composition.

Gagosian, Britannia Street, London

Join Gagosian for a tour of the group exhibition American Pastoral. The show juxtaposes modern and contemporary works with historical American landscapes ranging from Albert Bierstadt’s depiction of the sublime in Sunset over the River (1877) to Edward Hopper’s tranquil seaside scene, Gloucester Harbor (1926). Gagosian’s Alice Godwin will focus on a select grouping of exhibited works that seek to challenge the idealized vision of the American Dream that has long been a rich topic of inquiry for artists in the United States. To attend the free event, RSVP to londontours@gagosian.com. Space is limited.

Mark Tansey and Peter Drake will participate in a talk in conjunction with the exhibition they co-curated, Figurative Diaspora. The show presents works of “unofficial art”—subversive, non-state sanctioned art—created by five Soviet artists and five contemporary Chinese artists. It is the first exhibition to trace the direct artistic influences of the USSR on the artists of the People’s Republic of China.
