All the JRFA team wish you and your family a very happy and enjoyable New Year.
Each new year and particularly this new decade brings a time for reflection. A time of looking back and one for looking forward and making changes.
After five years of sending our monthly guides to the world of Contemporary Middle Eastern art, we have taken the decision that this will be our final edition in its current form (though we shall continue to highlight events and exhibitions on social media). We have enjoyed preparing these newsletters enormously and thank you for your amazing support over the years, which is hugely appreciated.
Meanwhile, in the physical realm, we shall continue our active programme of exhibitions and events and hope that you will be able to visit our stand
P16b
at the forthcoming
London Art Fair
. We remind you also of
Patrick Altes
' ongoing exhibition at
Gerald Moore Gallery. JFRA artist
Fereydoun Ave will be speaking at the
British Museum on
26th January in collaboration with
Magic of Persia Foundation
and watch out too for
Amin Roshan
's exhibition at
Rossi & Rossi
opening in
London
in February.
Returning to the newsletter, in our
Art Matters
section we review the varied topics covered over the last twelve months - a chance to check them out if you missed any. We feature a selection of noteworthy and recommended books and finally in the spirit of the festive season, for our monthly
Inspiration
we peak at the behind the scene moments of fashion brand Loewe's making of their latest video campaign at
Leighton House
.
We hope you enjoy this last Middle Eastern guide and hope you have lots of fun and success in 2020!!
Janet Rady,
Gallery Director and Curator

Director Nina Gantz dissects her recent surreal stop motion work for fashion brand Loewe.
For the launch of the William De Morgan capsule collection, LOEWE collaborated with BAFTA-winning director Nina Gantz to create a film that brings to life the master ceramicist’s fantastical subject matter and the textiles and textures from the collection itself. Combining stop-motion animation with live action of models, the story unfolds within West London’s Leighton House, which contains close to one hundred works by De Morgan:
