Juan Uslé

3 March 2006 – 21 April 2006

Frith Street Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by Juan Uslé. This exhibition is the first time in nearly ten years that a major body of Uslé’s work has been presented in a UK Gallery.

Juan Uslé belongs to a generation of international painters who brought abstraction back to critical attention at the end of the eighties. His work reflects on the possibilities of painting, adding ideas emerging from new philosophical and scientific theories. Uslé layers his canvases with veils of pigment, wash and medium that swirl around one another like clouds of ether – sometimes forms are suggested, partially articulated, then left ambiguous – striking a balance between what is revealed and what is hidden. In these paintings, colours, shapes and forms create a language of their own – their labyrinthine patterns and seamless textures have a decidedly hand-crafted feeling, they draw the viewer into a world of visual pleasure.
