Greco-Italian artist Jannis Kounellis, a key figure in international contemporary art for over forty years, will create major new works, especially conceived for Ambika P3. Using the unique characteristics offered by the spaces of Ambika P3 as his canvas, this major new exhibition, presented by Sprovieri Gallery, will be the first solo presentation by Kounellis in a public London space since the Whitechapel Art Gallery exhibition in 1982.
 Jannis Kounellis was initially associated with the Italian Arte Povera of the late 1960s, a movement that tried to free art from the conventions, structures and the market place restrictions of the day, and also (through the nature of the materials used) to make an art much closer to the everyday life of people. In 1969 he was made famous by a work he presented in Rome in which he temporarily turned a gallery into a stable for twelve horses. Since then, through his continued pushing of the boundaries of what is considered art, Kounellis has remained at the forefront of developments in contemporary art.
