New London art exhibitions feature Moriyama, van Zyl, and Shaw

Several new art exhibitions are now open in London, showcasing works by Daidō Moriyama, Jenkin van Zyl, and George Shaw, among others.

  • Daidō Moriyama's 'Ink' exhibition at Hamiltons Gallery runs until 30 October.
  • Jenkin van Zyl's 'Enclosure' at Somerset House is open until 29 November.
  • George Shaw's 'Albion Groans Part Two' is on display at Anthony Wilkinson Gallery until 7 November.

London's art scene features new exhibitions this week, including 'Ink' by Japanese street photographer Daidō Moriyama at Hamiltons Gallery. The exhibition explores Moriyama's work from the 1960s, featuring monochrome images with themes of repetition and American capitalism's influence on Japanese urbanity.

Jenkin van Zyl's 'Enclosure' exhibition at Somerset House Studios centres on a speculative sci-fi film about identity and body leasing. The immersive installation replicates the film set with broken automatons and flickering lights, creating a dystopian atmosphere.

At the Anthony Wilkinson Gallery, George Shaw's 'Albion Groans Part Two' presents small paintings depicting the less pleasant aspects of England, focusing on decaying council estates and desolate landscapes. Shaw's work, often based on Coventry, portrays a sense of decline.

Additionally, Tanoa Sasraku is exhibiting works from a series at Vardaxoglou, which features paper cut into torso forms with military camouflage patterns, running until 31 October.
