CHRISTOPHER LE BRUN – MOMENTARIUM

Posted on 2022-08-01

Le Brun is still deeply committed to experimentation, exploring new techniques, palettes and dispositions, as experienced in the varying approaches adopted in these works. The exhibition features a number of large-scale multi-paneled oil on canvas paintings, including the eponymous work in the show, Momentarium II – referring to a collection of fleeting moments – a painting that feels like an account of time and consciousness made visible.

MARCH AVERY – THE FAMILY

Posted on 2022-07-25

The oil paintings and watercolors presented in The Family epitomize the way that March moves through the world-processing intimate moments shared with loved ones through art making, as though it is another of her basic human senses. Spanning more than fifty years of the artist’s career, these portraits capture daily scenes shared with close friends or family, such as her mother Sally, her son Sean, and her granddaughter Delilah. Commemorating these interactions in March’s signature style, a distinctive using of abstraction, figurative motifs, and emotive palettes, these works expose the exquisite in the quotidian, celebrating brief interpersonal exchanges in vivid color and intuitive compositions.

Opposite – The Family, 1970

Exhibition runs through to September 10th, 2022

SWISS MADE

Posted on 2022-07-25

Swiss Made was inspired in part by Visionary Switzerland, a traveling exhibition curated by Harald Szeemann in 1992 for Kunsthaus Zürich. Szeemann framed his selection of work by iconoclastic artists in conscious opposition to the reductive notion of a Swiss “national” aesthetic, contradicting the widespread perception of Switzerland as a country without a history. The exhibition underscored the continuing influence of Constructivism and explored the legacy of the art brut tendency first identified and promoted by Jean Dubuffet in 1947.

KAARI UPSON

Posted on 2022-07-18

Over a prolific twenty-year period, Kaari Upson created a powerful body of work that mined the emotional linkages and traumas embedded within the objects and architectures that surround us every day. Working across sculpture, painting, drawing,
installation, performance and video, the artist explored relationships between the self and others, between inner life and external reality, and the doublings and repetitions that continually resurface in our past and present. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are honored to present the first solo exhibition of Upson’s work in Los Angeles in over a decade, and the first in the United States since her death in 2021. Titled by the artist, the exhibition premieres several new series that demonstrate an
artist at the height of her creative powers.

CAMILLA ENGSTRÖM – MANTLE

Posted on 2022-07-18

Engström’s practice encompasses painting, drawing, and sculpture, operating between colour-rich landscapes and figurative expression. For her exhibition in Berlin, Engström has created five new oil on canvas paintings that showcase her characteristic trippy, hallucinogenic palette and voluptuous curving forms in sorbet-coloured hues.
These new paintings dive deeper into the texture of landscape, abandoning the human form in favour of imaginary settings – brightly lit and undulating with Engström’s curvy lines. The resulting images are sunbathed, from a light source that emanates from somewhere outside the picture frame, as the sun as object is featured in all but one of the paintings. There is a warmth and quiet stillness in all of the works, reflecting Engström’s long-standing meditation practice. She refers to herself as a mostly self-taught artist, having previously studied fashion, making her way to the canvas mostly through drawing.
