After Dusk: Recent Drawings by Ofer Josef
Following a successful exhibition of the unique drawings of the artist Ofer Josef at the Maison Caillebotte in Paris in 2024, Stephen Ongpin Fine Art and Richard Nagy Fine Art are presenting a selection of the artist’s latest works on paper.
Born in 1965 in Tel Aviv, Ofer Joseph moved to France at the age of sixteen. He became one of the youngest students to gain admittance to the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, which he entered at seventeen. He spent much of his free time at the Paris zoo, studying animals – in particular felines – and producing numerous animal scenes. After leaving art school, Josef settled in Brazil where he lived for some thirty years, including three years working in relative isolation in a small village of some eighty inhabitants on the banks of the Rio Negro, a major tributary of the Amazon River, where he continued to find inspiration in the local wildlife. The artist now divides his time between Spain, Brazil and Portugal, and continues to create his sometimes disturbing, but always memorable visions, bringing them to life on paper. Since 1987, Ofer Josef has had successful solo exhibitions in galleries in Berlin, Malmo, Marseille, Paris and Porto. Josef's work is held in several private collections, as well as in the Teylers Museum in Haarlem in the Netherlands.

Beauty in Individualism 2023
“There is a thing about beauty. Beauty is always associated with the male fantasy of what the female body is. I don’t think there is anything wrong with beauty. It’s just what women think is beautiful can be different. And there can be beauty in individualism.” (Jenny Saville, 1994)

2009 Anne Connell Catalogue
The catalogue of the inaugural exhibition of Anne Connell’s small paintings and works on paper at Stephen Ongpin Fine Art, illustrating fourteen works painted by the artist between 1994 and 2009. Connell’s small, exquisitely detailed paintings are characterized by a painstaking technique of oil and gold leaf on prepared panels, and display a rich vocabulary of motifs and influences that reflect her close study of medieval and Renaissance imagery. As a New York Times review of an earlier exhibition of her work noted, ‘Borrowing patterns and fragmentary images from Italian Renaissance painting for her small, lovingly made panel paintings, Connell creates a quietly luminous symbolist poetry that seems as once antique and post-modern.’ Out of print.
