Villa Sassi, seventeenth-century residence on the hill of Turin, once the residence of princes and barons, will be the background to the fashion shows that will be held in presence and live streaming on the facebook page Torino Fashion Week on 10 and 11 July and 13 and 14 July both at h. 17.30 that at h. 20 and at the end of each show there will be a cocktail party managed in collaboration with Villa Sassi (Str. at Pino Tunnel 47).

An exhibition of paintings and works on paper by artist Zhang Enli opens this summer season at Hauser & Wirth St. Moritz. Unfolding across both floors of the gallery, ‘Zhang Enli. Looking Outwards’ showcases works from recent years, all connected through the artist’s remarkable use of line and colour. The works on view are an invitation to look beyond oneself, onto the peripheries and off centre, and inspire us to see the world anew. Coinciding with the presentation in St. Moritz is Zhang Enli’s site-specific project ‘A Cheerful Person’ (2021) in Montabone, Italy for Art Mapping Piemonte – an art project launched by the Piedmont Region with the support of Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo, produced by Fondazione Torino Musei and curated by Artissima. Using his paintings to mirror the outside world, Zhang Enli documents the more prosaic aspects of contemporary life, often representing ordinary objects and individuals in his works. Though abstract in style with loose and free brushstrokes, his recent works are anchored in figuration with descriptive titles, such as ‘The Surgeon’ (2020) and ‘A Man Who Travels to Space’ (2021). In these outward looking paintings, Zhang Enli projects his impressions of individuals and recollections onto the canvas through colour, composition and mood. In the background of ‘A Man Who Travels to Space’ (2021), thin layers of blue colour culminate to form nebulae across the canvas that float amongst clusters of golden loops. In contrast to the subdued tones are striking spherical shapes in crimson and dark brown that resemble astronomical bodies. In this way, Zhang Enli does not depict an object or person as a truthful representation but instead, presents their essence. The works on view, such as ‘A Melancholic Person’ (2019), exemplify Zhang Enli’s distinct abstract visual language. The artist’s expressive lines and curves are always underpinned by the structure of his pencil- drawn grids. Influenced by the washes of traditional Chinese brush painting, the artist dilutes his paint until it is almost like a glaze, leaving grids visible beneath the layers of paint. By allowing the pencil marks to show through the painted surface, Zhang Enli constantly reminds us that his paintings are artistic constructs, not direct representations of any given object or individual. Continuing onto the first floor of the gallery, the exhibition presents a rarange of works on paper, including a series from 2019 that depicts dynamic, curvilinear forms in watercolour, coloured pencils and oil pastels. Zhang Enli’s line work is also seen in watercolours from the artist’s new ‘Born in the Year of the Tiger’ series which have not before been displayed in Europe. Created in 2021, Zhang Enli masterfully employs colour and light in these works to draw on the optimism and vitality of the Chinese New Year, and the prospect of renewal and transformation. The bold brushstroke lines and vibrant colour-block in ‘Born in the Year of the Tiger 2’ (2021) allude to the essence of the Tiger – a symbol of power and confidence. This is juxtaposed with the calm, translucent wash of paint in the negative space, executed in a natural, muted shade of yellow. Understanding empty space as an escape from reality rather than nothingness, Zhang Enli’s works not only look to the year ahead but also to a world that has opened up with renewed energy. Sharing many of the same themes as the works on view in St. Moritz, Zhang Enli drew on the style of his gestural paintings to revitalise the exterior of the 18th-century Church of San Rocco in Montabone, Italy with a mural. Titled ‘A Cheerful Person’ (2021), the artwork borrows from the colours of the surrounding landscape and transforms the outside of the structure into an abstract smiling face, whimsically incorporating the flower-shaped window in the centre of its façade as its nose. Intended as a happy presence capable of bringing a smile to those who encounter it, Zhang Enli’s mural draws on the creativity of childhood and the ability to transform reality with the force of imagination. About the artist Zhang Enli was born in 1965 in the province of Jilin in China. In 1989, he graduated from the Arts & Design Institute of Wuxi Technical University and relocated to Shanghai to teach at the Arts and Design Institute of Donghua University, a transition that greatly affected his artistic practice and the evolution of his painting. Zhang Enli continued teaching at the University until 2008. Zhang Enli’s paintings have been featured in numerous important exhibitions, including solo exhibitions at The Long Museum Chongqing, China (2021); Power Station of Art, Shanghai, China (2020); Galleria Borghese, Rome, Italy (2019); K11 Foundation, Shanghai, China (2019); Firstsite Gallery, Colchester, England (2017); Moca, Taipei, Taiwan (2015); Villa Croce, Genoa, Italy (2013); Institute of Contemporary Arts, London, England (2013); Shanghai Art Museum, Shanghai, China (2011); Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai China (2010); and Ikon Gallery, Birmingham, England (2009), a presentation which travelled to Kunsthalle Bern, Bern, Switzerland (2009). In 2020, The Power Station of Art in Shanghai, China published a catalogue on Zhang Enli, marking the biggest survey publication on the artist.

Photo: Longines Global Champions Tour It was a battle of the best this afternoon in Monaco, with Simon Delestre reigning supreme in today’s CSI5* Trophée Casino de Monte-Carlo class, finishing just tenths of a second ahead of Victor Bettendorf who won the 5* speed class earlier in the day. In an edge-of-the-seat jump-off, Simon Delestre piloted his trusty 17-year-old Hermes Ryan to the top of the leaderboard, snatching the win after a thrilling 14-rider jump-off. Bettendorf secured second on board his energetic Astuce de la Roque while first to go in the jump-off Gilles Thomas and 9-year-old Jetric van Beek Z came third. Speaking about his special horse, Simon said: “Winning a class with Ryan always gives me a lot of emotion and we know it was almost one of the last classes he will jump in his career and to still be fit to win that type of class - it is really something special to me. Honestly, I risked it all today." Looking ahead to Super Saturday Simon said: “Dexter is also an amazing horse and he will jump his first 5* Grand Prix tomorrow so I will try my best but I know he will be a superstar in the future.” The biggest class on the second day of the Longines Global Champions Tour of Monaco saw temperatures rise in the perfect prelude to Saturday’s showdown. The incredible show jumping arena, sandwiched between Monaco’s famous yacht harbour and the Prince’s Palace, attracted a stylish crowd enjoying the lifestyle of the Principality and world-class sport. The LGCT of Monaco once again received tremendous support from HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Caroline of Hanover and her daughter Charlotte Casiraghi who attended during the three-day event. Fans and tourists lapped up the amazing scenes as superstar horses performed metres from the seafront and VIPs arrived on private tenders from their superyachts to enjoy first class hospitality on the French Riviera. During the three-day event spectators got to appreciate the wonderful destination for top equestrian sport. Uliano Vizzani put together a technical, tough track for the world’s top international riders, utilising the full width and breadth of the arena. Although the course required plenty of focus, responsiveness and bravery, it was proof of having the best athletes in the sport in Monaco as 14 combinations made it look easy to make it through to the jump-off. First to go Gilles Thomas carved the path for the rest to come he put in a fast and smooth clear but didn’t risk it all leaving the rest of the field to chase his time of 33.62s. Maikel van der Vleuten revved the engines of Dywis HH, powering out of the starting blocks and taking every chance. The turn back to fence two was brave but the upright fell mid course knocking their chances today. There was disappointment for Robin Muhr with Baccarat Meniljean, as they flew from the top to the bottom of the arena, picking up 12 faults in the testing course. Faults kept coming, with Malin Baryard-Johnsson with Harley Davidson and Denis Lynch on Rubens LS la Silla all collecting penalties. It was a total of 9 double clears as Samuel Hutton on Bonne Amie, Fernando Martinez Sommer with High Five and Jodie Hall McAteer onboard Mademoiselle-A opted to play it safe with steady clear rounds to collect their share of the prise purse. Olivier Philippaerts riding H&M Miro, Constant van Paesschen on Plato de Muze Z and Geir Gulliksen with VDL Groep Quatro all gave it their all putting the pedal to the metal in the former Monaco pit lane but couldn't match the pace keeping them out of the top three today. Simon Delestre and the iconic Hermes Ryan were lightning fast as always and jumped cleanly to propel themselves in the lead in 32.64s. They gave it their all and even the fresh combination of Victor Bettendorf and Astuce de la Roque couldn’t match the pace having to settle for 2nd overall in 33.31s. Last to go Edwina Tops-Alexander handed the win to the flying Frenchman after picking up 8 faults on Catenda and pushing her out of the top 10. On Super Saturday GCL Monaco R2 kicks off at 17.00 local time before the Longines Global Champions Tour Grand Prix du Prince de Monaco at 20.30. GCTV allows to watch all the action live!
