LONDON.- The Alan Cristea Gallery presents a new series of Platinum-Palladium prints, London (2015), by Idris Khan that depict five London architectural landmarks. Each print is an amalgam of between 70-100 layers of photographs, dating from the 1930's onwards.

By a complex process of assembling and erasing, Khan has built up a composition that stretches over time, capturing the essence of each iconic structure.

A new series of ten prints by Richard Serra, Reversal I - X (2015), are having their first showing in the UK. Reversals comprises two sheets of handmade paper to which Serra has applied a black Paintstik and silica mixture by hand to build bold, densely layered forms that absorb light, creating a strong sense of gravity, weight and mass.

Alongside the works by Serra the gallery is presenting seven new works by Edmund de Waal entitled, Letters from Tomis I - VII (2015). The title of these works refers to the city of Tomis, now known as Constanța in modern day Romania, where the Roman poet Ovid was exiled in 8AD by Emperor Augustus.

Each work consists of several small porcelain vessels inserted between two white wooden boxes.

Alan Cristea is also displaying a selection of metal profiles from Julian Opie's new Nature 1. series. Transferring urban technology to rural subjects, Opie has cut boats, sheep, carp and pebbles from sheet aluminum.

Prior to Michael Craig-Martin's solo exhibition, ‘Transience' at the Serpentine, London (25 November - 14 February 2015) the gallery is exhibiting a new series of nine embossed letterpess prints entitled, Drawings (2015).

Alan Cristea is also displaying a large woodcut by Christiane Baumgartner from her recent series, Wald bei Colditz (Wood near Colditz) (2014), a black and white depiction of a wooded landscape.
