DALLAS ART FAIR | April 21 – 24, 2022 | Booth C4
Representing Dov Talpaz, Osaretin Ugiagbe, Hiva Alizadeh, Michael Bevilacqua, and Leonardo Ulian
SARAHCROWN is proud to participate in Dallas Art Fair in collaboration with The Flat - Massimo Carasi, Milan, with a specially curated booth featuring five established and emerging artists from around the globe: Hiva Alizadeh, Michael Bevilacqua, Dov Talpaz, Osaretin Ugiagbe, and Leonardo Ulian.
Dov Talpaz is an American–Israeli artist born in Bryan, Texas and based in New York, NY. Talpaz offers a delicate, profound view of his inner world through an artistically diverse range of technique and subject matter. Tackling feelings difficult to define with words, he turns back to views from his past, or engages classical movie characters or biblical stories to process them. Painting, collage, or pastels alike, Talpaz’s art looks deep into motifs engraved in his life and persona. Dov Talpaz has exhibited locally and internationally, and his work is included in many private and public collections worldwide, including the Bank Leumi Collection, Israel, Rema Hort Foundation, New York, the Javor Collection, Vienna, AU, and the Gary & Tracy Stein Collection, Houston.

Osaretin Ugiagbe, born in Lagos, Nigeria and based in Baltimore, MD and New York, utilizes his art to open up a space for existential interrogation. The “Bounty” series combines the concepts of self, memory, and the artist’s lifelong interest in portrait painting, using interior settings as a backdrop. Imprinted patterns of Bounty paper towels as a reminder of domesticity and the ephemeral. His sculptural works - so different at the first glance - deal with the same subject in a more symbolic, abstract way, as these three-dimensional works surpass any disciplines. Ugiagbe uses the disintegration and layers over layers of paper, found objects, and metal clamps to externalize his relationship with the streets of cities that impacted him. His work is featured in the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and many private collections in the US, Nigeria, and Europe. Please click here to download a preview.
Self-taught filmmaker and artist Hiva Alizadeh’s work finds its roots in the Persian tradition and in its millenary skill of weaving Kerman carpets, and takes it further to achieve a contemporary, refined interpretation of craftsmanship and texture. Alizadeh creates his tapestries using synthetic hair extensions composed in vibrant color palettes and a complex juxtaposition of the Iranian landscape and pixels of digital imagery. Alizadeh’s work has been exhibited and included in collections all around the world, including the Akzonobel Art Foundation, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, Los Angeles, CA. Please click here to download a preview.
Californian artist Michael Bevilacqua, based in New York, NY, combines an enthusiasm for pop culture with a sophisticated study of modern painting. His most recent work included in the booth ruminates on the experience of the “urban jungle,” adopting visual approaches from street art, digital imagery, and contemporary life in his construction of identity in a post-computer world. Bevilacqua has been exhibited worldwide, including solo shows in Beijing, Copenhagen, Milan, Tokyo, Madrid, Barcelona and New York. His work is included in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, CA, the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY, and the Dallas Museum of Art, TX.

Leonardo Ulian, Italian artist based in London, UK, is best known for his “technological mandalas,” labyrinthine patchworks of electronic components created by a cartographic construction of elements such as microchips, motherboards, and transistors intricately soldered together in complex geometric patterns. The impression is that of being in front of a microcosmic network, a pulsating nervous system able to connect and delineate new macrocosmic perspectives. He has been exhibited globally from the UK to China, and his work is in collections of the Prince Alex von Fürstenberg, the Allegrini Estates, and French fashion house Hermès, among others. Ulian was also commissioned to produce works for tech giants such as Facebook (Open Arts Program) and WIRED Magazine. Please click here to download a preview.
