MANU GARCÍA: JUEGO
Exhibition until 14 October 2023
Watch Manu in his studio talking about Juego
Spanish artist MANU GARCÍA brings his debut UK solo exhibition to #beerslondon with Juego. "This is not a linear story as we are used to seeing in books or films," García states. "The mind works with many simultaneous ideas and sensations," and these works have that pendulous effect. Somewhat dizzying, enchanting... ideas that seem ever-out-of-grasp. There isn't a clear narrative at play that we might come to expect from other figurative artists. The titular juego also suggests something exuberant or mischievous. Just as how García treats the paintings as palimpsests, where concepts are paved over, reworked, rewritten, or obscured. The ghosts and lines of former ideas are being erased and reapproached. So the 'movement' inherent in the title becomes temporal too, where a painting records an artist's process and thoughts in time and space.
Contact the gallery now to inquire about available works.
"There is a constant game in my painting which is constant references to the painting itself. Abstraction, figuration, academy, raw languages, different techniques, children's stuff, poetics, humour... All the things that happen to me in the course of making a work appear in one way or another in the work, so that pop languages end up sharing spaces with more primitive stains, elements that have a profound importance for me, and arbitrary elements." - Manu Garcìa
FORTHCOMING
KAT KRISTOF: HER & THE SELF
Preview: Thursday 19 October 2023 (6-8pm)
Exhibition: 20 October – 25 November 2023
The work of Hungarian-British artist KAT KRISTOF is concerned with the very incalculability of self. For Kristof, the ability to understand the self becomes an internalized process. She states: "In my works, most of the time it is the same person watching themselves, from outside, trying to see their true self... We are constantly de/constructing and re/constructing our spaces, identities, memories."
This is Kristof's debut exhibition with the gallery.
Contact the gallery now to inquire about available work.
