Art Galleries London: The best in-the-know art exhibitions to see this spring

eL Seed: Tabula Rasa, Lazinc Gallery

One of Mayfair's hottest contemporary art galleries presents a solo exhibition of new acrylic on canvas paintings by Tunisian-French artist, eL Seed. Best known for his colourful works boasting traditional Arabic calligraphy, eL Seed sees his art as a means of uniting communities and cultures across the world.

This exhibition traces a shift in the artist's engagement with Arabic script; eL Seed's new body of work on display comments on both the meaning and movement of the words invoked. eL Seed has exhibited in institutions and public spaces from the streets of Paris and New York, to the favelas of Rio Di Janeiro. Not one to be missed.

Christian Dior exhibition: The Dior Collection, Proud Central, London

Coinciding with the major V&A Christian Dior exhibition is a more intimate photography exhibition exploring Dior's revolutionary beginnings. From highly stylised editorial shots of Hollywood starlets to behind-the-scenes studio snapshots, Dior and his creations come to life through the lens of four internationally renowned fashion photographers: Mark Shaw, Norman parkinson, Jerry Schatzberg and Bert Stern.

Peter Gronquist: Shape Shifter, Unit London, Mayfair

Seventeen innovative and immersive new works by American multi-disciplinary artist Peter Gronquist go on display at Mayfair gallery Unit London. The new solo exhibition Shape Shifter traces the artist's continued 'interest in the potency of colour and temporality of our world'.

At the heart of the show are the minimalist 'Colour Field' paintings, which explore the expressive possibilities of gradient, and the most technically challenging works in the exhibition: the 'Immortals' series. By reconfiguring recognisable ceramic objects using extreme temperatures, Gronquist explores notions of fragility and transition. This major solo shows offers visitors an opportunity to re-evaluate the themes of permanence, excess and escapism inherent to Gronquist's work.

Tracey Emin: A Fortnight of Tears, White Cube Bermondsey

Art Galleries London: Asger Jorn, Per Kirkeby, Tal R exhibition, Victoria Miro Gallery, Mayfair

Make a beeline for this bijou exhibition of Danish art in one of the coolest contemporary art galleries London has to offer. Despite focusing on differing subject matter – Nordic mythology (Jorn), geology (Kirkeby) and the liminal space of sleep (Tal R) – all three artists boldly experiment with colour and gesture.

Bosco Sodi: Heavens and the Earth, Blain/Southern, London

Mayfair gallery Blain/Southern presents an exhibition of new relief paintings by Mexican contemporary artist Bosco Sodi.

Sodi explores the effect of raw materials and pigments in this series, drawing on the traditional Japanese practice of wabi-sabi.

Running concurrently to Bosco Sodi's solo show is a group show of works by nine contemporary Mexican artists. Curated by Sodi and poet Alberto Rios, Approaching Abstraction traces a recent movement amongst Mexican artists towards abstract and more monochromatic works.
