Two landmark paintings of current British Art, by David Breuer-Weil, will be unveiled publicly in Cork Street, Mayfair in the Alon Zakaim Fine Art Special Projects Window, on December 3, 2025 where they will be on public display, day and night, until the end of June 2026. The installation coincides with Classic Week in the London art world, where works by masters over the centuries are showcased at galleries, Sotheby’s, Christie’s and other salerooms.
Breuer-Weil’s two triptychs, The Garden of Contemporary Delights and The Golden Garden of Contemporary Delights are based on a visit the artist recently made to the Prado in Madrid where he saw Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights first hand. The artist commented:
“I was craving to make contemporary versions of this insane, surreal, immense product of the human imagination. In these works I have drawn and painted thousands of detailed images, animals, figures and people, each of which differs from the Bosch and updated for today’s world. These two triptychs engaged me for hundreds of inspired hours”.
