ENDLESS FRIEZE

NEW LARGE-SCALE WORK

IN NOTTING HILL DURING FRIEZE WEEK

12–31 OCTOBER 2026

Cris Contini Contemporary

1 Lonsdale Road, Notting Hill, London W11 2BY

LIVE PERFORMANCE

16 OCTOBER 2026 FROM 6:00 TO 9:00 PM

Cris Contini Contemporary is pleased to present a new exhibition by British artist Endless, opening in Notting Hill during Frieze Week 2026. At the heart of the exhibition, Endless will unveil a major new site-specific artwork inspired by the streets, architecture and people surrounding the gallery.

Stretching across the full length of the gallery, the new work will be constructed from mismatched, roughly cut wooden panels. Together, the panels will form a layered urban landscape, depicting the buildings, streets, people and beautifully ordinary moments of daily life found in the surrounding neighbourhood.

Bold, glitched and multi-layered faces will appear across sections of the landscape, interrupting and overlapping the imagery. This creates a dynamic and slightly jolted human presence within the work, bringing the local community directly into the visual narrative of the neighbourhood.

Alongside the new installation, Cris Contini Contemporary will present a selection of Endless’s most iconic works from his Chapel series. The series explores humanity’s relationship with brands, consumer culture and the almost religious devotion that can surround luxury goods and status.

Downstairs, visitors will encounter a new sculpture featuring a real Chanel handbag placed inside a church-like setting, surrounded by elements of barbed wire.

The work continues Endless’s exploration of brand worship, faith, desire and the powerful symbols that shape modern society.

The exhibition will open to the public on Monday 12 October, at the beginning of Frieze week and last until the 31 October 2026.

BECOME PART OF THE ARTWORK: A LIVING ARTWORK

On Friday 16 October, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM, Endless will host a special evening event at Cris Contini Contemporary. During the event, he will photograph guests and immediately incorporate elements of their faces into the large-scale Notting Hill landscape artwork.

The process will transform the artwork throughout the evening, making the guests themselves part of the final piece and creating a unique record of the people who experienced the exhibition.

“Art should reflect the now. By bringing the guests and viewers directly into the work, I’m giving the art an immediacy that could not be more NOW.” Endless

The completed artwork will remain on display at the gallery for a further two weeks, allowing visitors to experience the finished piece and the evolving story of Notting Hill captured within it.
