Marie José Gallery & Victoria Law Projects
Exhibition: Crossroads and Alliances on til 15th March 25.
Marie José Gallery and Victoria Law Projects are pleased to present Crossroads and Alliances, an exhibition that brings together three contemporary women artists from distinct cultural backgrounds, each with a unique artistic practice. The exhibition takes its cue from Azadeh Ghotbi’s Crossroads painting series, which serves as the starting point for the thematic exploration of the complex threads that connect us, both spatially and temporally.
AWITA Member Victoria Law shared her inspiration behind the show:
“The inspiration stems from a belief in the fundamental importance of human relationships and cultural exchange. As a curator and passionate advocate for art’s ability to connect us, I wanted to explore how diverse artistic practices can reflect the intricate threads that bind us across time, geography, and identity. The exhibition brings together three exceptional women artists, each of whom addresses the theme of connection in a deeply personal yet universal way.
From the reimagining of ancient myths by Emily Buck to the contemplative sculptures of Victoire d’Harcourt and the intricate webs of human interaction woven by Azadeh Ghotbi, these artists embody the notion that art transcends borders and speaks to the shared human experience. By curating this exhibition, I sought to create a space where these voices could intersect, allowing visitors to witness the power of art in forging connections that span not just cultures, but also histories and identities.
Crossroads and Alliances is more than just a collection of artworks—it's a celebration of the way art can create meaningful dialogue, foster understanding, and encourage empathy across divides. It’s a testament to the transformative power of human connection, and I’m thrilled to share this journey with you.”
Artists
For English artist Emily Buck, the act of looking back is central to her practice. She reimagines figures from ancient history, particularly goddesses, embedding them in the context of the Classical World while reinterpreting their significance with a modern sensibility. Her hand-built ceramics bridge the gap between past and present, elevating ancient forms into sculptural pieces where only the poetic fractures suggest their inherent fragility.
French artist Victoire d’Harcourt works with bronze to express a delicate balance between strength and vulnerability. Her sculptural circles, suspended by fine threads, invite contemplation on the nature of their union—whether it is their connection that imbues them with power or their precariousness that exposes their fragility. The mater
In her paintings, Iranian-American artist Azadeh Ghotbi captures the invisible threads that weave individuals together. Her work unfolds as intricate webs of paths, choices, encounters, and separations—interwoven landscapes where lives cross, diverge, and intersect in ways that are both subtle and profound. Each piece becomes a visual manifestation of how our connections shape our journeys.
