Daniel Crews-Chubb's 'Belt of Venus' Opens at Patricia Low Contemporary

exhibition · 2026-05-06

Patricia Low Contemporary in Gstaad presents 'The Belt of Venus,' an exhibition of six new monumental paintings by British artist Daniel Crews-Chubb. The show's title references the atmospheric phenomenon visible at twilight, an ethereal pinkish band between Earth's shadow and the sky. This afterglow inspires the artist's palette, blending celestial and fleshy tones. Crews-Chubb extends his exploration of the human form into abstraction, testing perception through pareidolia—the brain's tendency to impose recognizable patterns. The exhibition runs through [dates not specified in source].
