SUMMARY:Lino Lago CRASH
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Madison Gallery announces Lino Lago’s CRASH the artist’s third solo exhibition with Madison Gallery. Born in Spain in 1973 Lino Lago is known for his peekaboo gestures over realistic oil-painted portraits and interiors creating a palimpsest of the old and the new. In this exhibition Lino’s gestures explode over historically significant themes in his works by master painters of bygone eras\, such as the 16th century painter Titian and the great 19th century French Neoclassicist\, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. \n\n “Painting was for me always something simple: You just needed to paint what you see. We as artists have a profound understanding of what “to see” really means. A salvage splash of colour contradicts another slow and meticulous work of copying a master classic painting. On one hand I include the past\, the process of learning as a fundamental part of us\, a humble idea of creation and originality. On the other hand we find it is negation\, a daring explosion which destroys and changes everything. A new light.  \n\nThe contradictions we are  made of. The everyday fight of memories and dreams\, facts and expectations. The wild experience of changing and being alive. The captivating energy’s explosions and acts of courage fueling our successes and mistakes. The unavoidable surprises (old and new) that will always amaze and enrich our minds and senses. Our own views crashing with another’s.”\n– Lino Lago on CRASH

SUMMARY:Ángel Ricardo Ríos and Cédrix Crespel “Sensual Dreams”
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California- Madison Gallery announces Sensual Dreams\, a visual exploration of hedonism\, seduction and carnal desire\, featuring works on canvas from French painter Cédrix Crespel and Cuban born Ángel Ricardo Ríos. In this exhibition\, Cédrix Crespel offers a front row seat to his nearly three decades long love affair with his wife and muse\, Tiphaine while Angel Ricardo Rios introduces us to his fantasies\, a secret garden\, a dreamscape of arousal. Both executing in bold color and brushstroke\, compelling the viewer to come further into their worlds\, share their fantasies and ultimately leaving us weak in the knees. \n“Abstraction? Figuration? The two spaces coexist here without ignoring each other with the hope of a possible symbiosis between what the painter and the lover know\, what they can say and everything that vibrates beyond exhausted words. Because the image freezes within the limits of the form. However\, time has told us\, love is a dance where the fluidity of each new movement calls for possibilities\, suggestion and resonances of the eternal.” – Cédrix Crespel \nCédrix Crespel is an artist who symbolizes a generation open to its era culture. He examines the representation of one woman. In the middle of the 90s\, aware of the need for artists to lay down roots in their culture\, he soon abandoned academic drawing\, renounced pencils and lines\, inventing a figurative form of expression. His painting is a sensual odyssey an adaptation of images of independent and passionate women who defy roles that society wants to give them. He teaches us\, whether we like it or not\, to get rid of our certainties to enter a universe where his women love to be coveted in this way. From the tension in desire to the obsessions haunting him\, Cédrix Crespel implies the sexual and sensual\, and the reverse. For four years now\, it is no longer a question of painting the muse but of showing the couple in a relationship to absolute love. \n“The blur\, the background\, the underside is the subject. It fixes Her image. From a distance\, on the surface\, I apply what represents me with my historic practice. By these two techniques I create a depth of field comparable to photography.\nThe distance between these two layers is precisely what I focus on\, what I seek to paint. a ‘3rd entity’ ‘the link that connects us’\, the unpaintable\, the unrepresentable.” – Cédrix Crespel \n“I believe that painting with my hands transmits positivity and hope in the artwork. I like to touch and feel the paint that has an energy the paintbrush can’t transmit. The brush is too cold.” – Ángel Ricardo Ríos \nÁngel Ricardo Ríos was born in Cuba in 1965 and is a graduate of the Higher Institute of Art in Havana Cuba. Employing a direct application of pigment to canvas\, Ríos expresses in vibrant colors.  With a quick\, sure hand\, or made using his body to apply paint\, Ríos’ meld of Expressionist and Neobaroque recalls the theatrical presence celebrated in Spanish Baroque. Ríos’ work has an eagerness to it\, a blur of boundaries within the space that it occupies. The mixing and intertwining of subjects give way to explosions of color\, texture\, shape. To understand Ríos’ work one must acknowledge two essential elements. The first is a playful\, joyful and intimate relationship that takes the form of an intense\, frenzied sexual nature within the composition. Juxtaposed to this is one that is more relaxed and direct.

SUMMARY:Robert Montgomery "The Future Is An Invisible Playground"
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Announcing Robert Montgomery’s first US solo exhibition in five years\, THE FUTURE IS AN INVISIBLE PLAYGROUND. In this\, his second solo exhibition with Madison Gallery\, the artist explores the universal themes of Ecology\, Equality\, Kindness and above all Hope. \n  \n“We do not know what the future holds for us\, but it will be ours\, and it can be positive if we work together to make it so”. – Robert Montgomery \n  \nCutting to the core of the most crucial issues of our times\, Montgomery who defines himself as an “artist who works with poetry\,” works in language and is best known for his site-specific installations\, light\, solar\, fire and space. Commenting on our contemporary society and highlighting his personal and philosophical beliefs\, he engages completely with the public through his evocative\, cryptic\, and emotionally resonant art. Verse after verse of translucent and intuitive poetry\, Montgomery invites us to reflect on ways to salvage paradise\, rebuilding it from wreckage and going back to a natural sense of peace through an awe-inspiring melancholic yet hopeful lyrics. \n  \nThe artist will offer a reading of his work during the opening and a special print edition of Montgomery’s\, “The Peace Poem” will be made available for purchase with proceeds benefitting Choose Love\, the Ukraine Emergency Appeal. \n  \nRobert Montgomery was born in 1972 in Scotland. He was initially inspired by the graffiti artists of East London\, the concrete poetry of Ian Hamilton Finlay\, Sylvia Plath\, Ted Hughes and Philip Larkin\, but also the philosophy of Guy Debord\, and the art of James Turrell. He was the British artist selected for the Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2012\, the first biennale in India\, and the Yinchaun Biennale in 2016. He has had made public installations across Europe including major outdoor light installations on the site of the old US Air Force base at Tempelhof in Berlin. His work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston\, Texas and the Albright Knox in New York. He has had solo museum projects at the Aspen Art Museum in Colorado\, Oklahoma Contemporary in Oklahoma City\, and the Cer Modern Museum in Ankara. He has worked with low consumption LED lighting and solar power since 2010 and he was one of the official artists for ArtCOP21 in Paris in 2015.

SUMMARY:Elliott FUNSKULL Routledge “EUPHORIA”
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Announcing our first public opening in over two years\, Madison Gallery welcomes Australian painter\, sculptor and muralist\, Elliott Routledge (FUNSKULL) in his inaugural US solo exhibition\, EUPHORIA. \nEUPHORIA is a collection of large-scale paintings that dance around the concept of happiness and the melange of emotions that live alongside it. Balanced compositions of audacious\, intensely saturated colors are overlaid and floated amongst the obscured iconic smiley face symbol\, which has become an intrinsic part of Routledge’s visual mantra. As we reemerge from the last two years\, these paintings act as a reflection of ourselves in a type of celebration of the sudden euphoria we are about to experience in the new world. We are posed with the question of who we are\, what is our life’s purpose and how do we paint the new version of our own happiness. \nWith these works Routledge is seeking to create a singular sense of harmony and euphoria without any one of the shapes or gestural marks being the same or being restricted to any given line or angle. A montage of uniquely individual elements\, living together on the canvas to create the one emotion or being. Not constricted to the borders of the canvas\, the work fractures over the edge and interacts with the walls and environment surrounding it\, giving the audience the role of imagining where the piece starts and ends. Much like his public large-scale murals\, there is ultimately a sense of pure joy to be experienced within the abstract and bright hued microcosm being portrayed. \nElliott’s practice spans across canvas paintings\, sculpture\, and large-scale public works. He was a feature of the Art & About Festival in Sydney and the SODO Track international mural festival in Seattle\, USA\, and has also been shown in the Museums Quartier\, Vienna as a part of his 2014 Residency. He has collaborated with Nike\, Converse\, Moncler\, RVCA and Mercedes AMG.

SUMMARY:Jaehyo Lee : Beyond Nature
DESCRIPTION:Solana Beach\, California – Madison Gallery presents noted South Korean artist Jaehyo Lee’s third solo exhibition\, Beyond Nature. The artist creates a direct narrative with nature in his innovative approach and creative process. Combining distinct traces of Land Art\, Arte Povera and Minimalism Lee’s works cast a questioning eye over the roots of form\, its function and its role within the natural world. The sculptures of polished big cone pine\, larch\, and chestnut act in unison\, embodying both natural and manmade forms; they enhance the natural possibilities of the wood\, a material with suggestively lyrical qualities. Lee not only makes projects about nature\, he also works within nature\, so that his sculptures both describe and exemplify the natural world. \n“Nature seems chaotic and violent depending on how it is viewed\, but Lee finds the source of autogeny in a sphere.  A circle is a figure closely and symbolically related to co-existence\, integrity and the found of all beings.  When this circle is materialized into a body\, it becomes a sphere. Therefore\, the symbolic representation that a grain of all livings originating from this basic rounded body is the starting point of spheres which continue to appear in his works.”  Taeman Choi\, Art Critic \n  \nLee’s work shows immense respect for natural materials\, but also the will to dominate what nature has provided. One is immediately struck by the perfection of his craftsmanship and led to reflect on the many long hours of hard physical labor that must have gone into the production of these immaculate\, yet also intricate objects. \n  \nJaehyo Lee’s artwork plays with the oft-contested boundaries between contemporary art and design. Lee’s works are widely collected in public and private collections across Europe\, Asia and North America. Amongst many other distinctions Jaehyo was in 1998 Grand Prize Winner at the Osaka Triennial and in 2002 recipient of the prestigious Irish Sculpture in Woodland commission. His last larger Museum exhibition was at the Seongnam Arts Center in Seoul\, South Korea.

SUMMARY:Lost Where I Belong by James Verbicky
DESCRIPTION:Solana Beach\, 18 September\, 2019 – Madison Gallery presents James Verbicky’s tenth solo exhibition\, Lost Where I Belong. This exhibition will examine Verbicky’s creative progression. From his sculptural mixed media paintings composed of vintage periodicals to his new Citta Samtana: REBIRTH series on canvas. By utilizing vintage media and graphics\, advertisements\, and obsolete branding materials\, Verbicky presents us with the result of decades of attempts to persuade\, manipulate\, and coerce through subtle and suggestive imagery. His works are at once deeply conceptual and hauntingly beautiful and abstract\, capturing both forgotten and persisting icons of media and reminding us that we are all constantly being influenced. \n  \n\n\n\n“I’ve taken my Citta Samtana Series\, formerly built with forgotten ephemera\, and deconstructed it\, rebuilding it as a looser\, more intuitive sequence of paintings. I’ve used inverted compositions from unrelated and wild studio sessions\, dissected the canvases\, and built each piece layer upon layer. Lost Where I Belong means truly that: what you’re seeing is a window into time: a glimpse\, a fragment of my mindset and the cathartic and unpredictable experience of working with the paint.” – James Verbicky \n \n\n\n\nVerbicky collaborates frequently with philanthropic organizations\, using his artwork to contribute to nonprofits like the Waterkeeper Alliance and the Art of Elysium. He has been the focus of international exhibitions ranging from Berlin to Bangkok\, Beirut to New York City\, Boston\, Washington D.C.\, and Los Angeles. His pieces have been auctioned by Sothebys & Christie’s\, and are counted in thousands of important private\, public\, celebrity and museum collections in countries all over the world. \nFounded in 2001\, Madison Gallery is committed to representing emerging\, mid-career and established international artists whom work in a range of media. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art\, the gallery consistently exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery works closely in building private\, corporate and public collections thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in California. Blouin Modern Painters Magazine has recognized our program for the fifth year in a row as one of the Top 500 galleries worldwide.
