A Focus On Painting: Group Exhibition

This September, Galerie Thaddaeus Ropac is showing A Focus on Painting, curated by Julia Peyton-Jones, the gallery’s Senior Global Director: Special Projects. The exhibition will feature four artists from different generations and at different points in their careers: Alvaro Barrington, Mandy El-Sayegh, Rachel Jones and Dona Nelson.

The individual artists’ presentations on display throughout the gallery will demonstrate the wide-ranging possibilities of painting today while exploring themes such as the formation of identity, the communication of meaning and the subjectivity of interpretation, as well as the boundaries between personal expression and collective experience.

A Focus on Painting explores the artists’ unique approaches to painting – whether through an innovative approach to modes of display, the canvas as a binding structure, the incorporation of seemingly disparate elements into the picture plane, painting as a site of containment or an index of process and gesture, or the interplay between abstraction and figuration.
