SUMMARY:RETNA | Love Letter\, Carta de Amor
DESCRIPTION:Madison Gallery proudly presents the highly anticipated solo exhibition from internationally acclaimed contemporary artist\, RETNA. Titled LOVE Letter | Carta de Amor\,  this exhibition invites collectors and admirers into a more intimate dialogue with the artist’s evolving script; a language that has become iconic in modern art and luxury design alike. Through bold canvases\, site-specific installations\, and striking mixed media works\, RETNA examines love in all its forms: sacred\, destructive\, redemptive\, and universal.  \n“This is my letter to the people I love\, the city that raised me\, the pain that shaped me\, and the faith that carries me forward. It’s a confession\, a prayer\, and a thank you all at once.” – RETNA \nRETNA\, born Marquis Lewis (Los Angeles\, b. 1979)\, has redefined contemporary art through his distinctive typographic language; bridging graffiti\, illuminated manuscripts\, and global iconography. His blended cultural heritage\, being of African-American\, El Salvadorian\, Spaniard\, Pipil and Cherokee descent has played a large role in his journey through the art world. Choosing the moniker RETNA from the lyrics to a Wu-Tang Clan song\, Lewis joined the buzzing graffiti scene of the city as a teenager\, developing his now signature calligraphic style that features a keen attention to detail and skillful layering. His artworks fuse visual references to fashion\, various types of linguistics and lettering\, including Blackletter\, Egyptian Hieroglyphics\, Arabic and Hebrew calligraphy\, as well as symbols from urban culture. \nIndecipherable and enigmatic\, RETNA creates unique pictographic landscapes\, celebrating the idea of multiculturalism and interconnection\, while exploring the possibilities of conceptual meaning within an image\, revealing new ways of understanding and perceiving visual codes. \nHis gradual transition from solely street art to the contemporary art world was marked by the group exhibition Art in the Streets\, hosted by the LA Museum of Contemporary Art in 2011. This was followed by an invitation by the same museum in 2013 to create an installation for his solo exhibition\, RETNA: Para mi gente. Since emerging on the scene\, his work has been exhibited wordwide\, from Los Angeles to New York to London to Lebanon\, and featured in high profile collaborations wih luxury brands\, such as Louis Vuitton\, Chanel\, Nike\, VIstaJet\, among others. \nIn LOVE Letter | Carta de Amor\,  RETNA explores self-love\, self-reflection\, resilience and rebirth. Using his distinctive and evocative calligraphic style known worldwide\, RETNA offers us  a personal and profound look into the mind and journey of born street Artist\, Marquis Lewis and the body of work he beared his soul for.

SUMMARY:Lino Lago | Multipolar
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Lino Lago’s\, third solo exhibition\, titled Multipolar. This exhibition introduces the idea of confrontation between different worlds and cultures — a multipolar world — challenged with our dreamt idea of globalization. The artist represents these concepts by confronting different and sometimes opposing paths and styles in a single painting. \n  \nLino Lago is a Spanish-born artist\, who continuously pushes the boundaries of contemporary art practices. Painting with technically traditional oil paints and inspired by the imagery of classical European portraits\, Lago’s work has a distinctly contemporary feel. \n  \nThe artist began to explore the juxtapositions that arose between the formal realism of classic art and the abstract aesthetics of contemporary art in earlier projects including Paint Over Paint. Whilst influenced by the art academies of the late 18th and early 19th century\, there is no doubt that both\, conceptually and visually\, Lago’s work belongs to the milieu of contemporary art. \n  \nIn his California solo exhibition Multipolar\, the artist treats his viewers to snippets of a portrait through squiggles across monochrome canvases. The audience is left to wonder if a full Renaissance-like painting actually exists underneath the solid block of color? Or maybe the artist deliberately painted small portions of a portrait on a small surface? In any case\, the eye-catching series lets us indulge in the juxtaposition of contemporary and classic art. \n  \nThe distinctly bold abstract line disturbs the conventional portrait form\, imitating the mark of a digital brush. But doing so\, Lago re-claims traditional artistic methods and\, in a way\, critiques the contemporary art world’s notions of operating outside of any historical context. Instead\, he alludes to the history of art. His distinct minimalist use of line and abstract shape succeeds in creating beautifully striking works as well as discussing theoretical concepts of reality. \n  \n“Lago’s marriage of sober traditional representation and intoxicating modernist color shows that the infinite variety of creative possibilities would not exist without pluralism.” \n-Donald Kuspit\, Art Critic\, White Hot Magazine \n  \n“Sober representation\, in which fresh\, luminous swabs of color-filled paint\, some forcefully gestural as though flung on the surface of the Old Master work they partially cover\, some subliminally biomorphic\, some geomorphic\, seem imprinted on the brilliantly copied Old Master work.  Each has its autonomy\, but they inform each other to make unusual aesthetic sense.  The  museum-worthiness and somber grandeur of the traditional masterpieces is seemingly attacked and compromised—marred and mocked—by the gloriously radiant colors of pure abstraction—the colors that Kandinsky saw at the expense of Monet’s haystack.  But in aesthetic fact the freshness and immediacy of the flashy spasms and blobs of color give Lago’s treasured Old Masterpieces a new lease on expressive life\, not to say a fresh sense of aesthetic purpose and presence\, even as the cognitive complexity and cultural meaning of the grand traditional paintings—one by Caravaggio\, another by Peter Lely—give the “non-objective” colors a sense of conceptual purpose they do not usually have. They have not only been raised from the dead by the color\, and the color has been given new expressive power and spiritual meaning by being injected into the dead old masterpieces\, revitalizing them and rescuing them from oblivion.”  \n– Donald Kuspit\, Art Critic\, White Hot Magazine\, “The Perils of Pluralism: Conflict In The Art Arena” \nMadison Gallery Mission Statement \n  \nUnder the keen direction of founder Lorna York\, a 40-year art world veteran and collector\, this 4\,000-square-foot space represents artists who share her powerful and eloquent vision. \n  \n“The mission of my gallery is to bring global contemporary art from artists worldwide to Southern California.” – Lorna York\, Owner \n  \nFounded in 2001\, Madison Gallery is committed to representing a global program of mid-career and established international artists working in various media and materiality. Madison Gallery’s program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to Southern California for the first time. Many of the gallery’s primary artists\, shown initially with Madison Gallery\, are now being exhibited internationally and by established galleries in other cities\, proving that the gallery has become a significant platform for young talent to launch their careers. Inspired by an earnest dedication and passion for art\, the gallery consistently curates and exhibits a high standard of contemporary art. Madison Gallery offers a complete range of services to the lifelong collector and the first-time buyer\, including in-home curatorial services\, personal collection development and curating\, on-site consultation\, virtual previews\, international sourcing\, and worldwide shipping. The gallery works closely in building private\, corporate\, and public museum institutional collections\, thus placing it amongst the leading contemporary galleries in southern California. Lorna’s care and attention to artist relations at the gallery give contemporary art a space to thrive in Southern California by creating a stronger sense of community with the art world.

SUMMARY:Ángel Ricardo Ríos : La Verdad Absoluta | The Absolute Truth
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California — Madison Gallery presents the unique artistic journey of Ángel Ricardo Ricardo Rios in his solo exhibition La Verdad Absoluta. Born in Cuba\, Rios’ educational background has significantly influenced his path\, starting at the National School of Art San Alejandro\, Havana\, Cuba\, and later onto the Higher Institute of Art Havana. Living in multiple countries like Mexico and the United States has transformed his style\, his way of living\, and his perception of the world. His solo endeavor\, a testament to his education and life journey. \n\n\n\n\n\nFor Rios\, painting is a means to create non-conceptual\, unconscious art by embracing the beauty of human mistakes. His work reflects his intellectual exhaustion and his strong desire to live authentically\, not conforming to societal expectations but engaging with life on his terms. La Verdad Absoluta symbolizes the absolute truth of Rios’ mind as he navigates life. In Ricardo Rios’ realm of feeling\, everything becomes clear—things are simply as they are\, exemplifying la verdad absoluta\, the absolute truth. \n\n\n\n\n\nRios’ artistic journey\, marked by international experiences\, offers moments of introspection and gratitude. His paintings capture the rawness of each moment\, though he struggles to find words to describe his vision. Bound by intuition and emotion\, Rios abstains from formal methodologies or theories\, allowing viewers the freedom to interpret his work. Ángel believes art should not provide answers but engage the senses. His works invite viewers to experience their essence rather than judge them\, encouraging a shift from ‘Is it good or bad?’ to ‘Does it please me or not?’—embracing the truth of their existence and engaging the audience in a thoughtful interpretation. \n\n\n\n\n\nRicardo has exhibited individually since 1981 in multiple institutions\, including the Chapo University Museum\, Popular Art Museum in Mexico City\, Galeria Luis Sandoval Contemporary Art in Mexico City\, and Fernando Pradilla Gallery in Madrid. He has exhibited collectively in Zona Maco in Mexico City\, Art Miami\, and the Biennial of Havana in Cuba. Ricardo has received several awards and mentions\, including Honorable Mention in the fourth Biennial of Visual Arts Yucatan Mexico and multiple publications\, including Art Magazine Spain and Art Nexus. \n\n\n\n\n\nIn this exhibition we have combined a series of selected works by Ángel Ricardo Ricardo Rios to produce an exhibition that captivates the profound exploration of life as is. Ángel was primarily educated in sculpting and is familiar with the direct physicality between the artist and the material. This is expressed in vibrant colors\, that have an eagerness to it\, a blur of boundaries within its space. The mixing and intertwining of subjects give way to color\, texture\, and shape explosions. To understand Ríos’ work\, one must acknowledge the elements of playful\, joyful\, and intimate relationship that takes the form of an intense\, frantic sexual nature within the composition. This exhibition\, in addition to showcasing Rios’ distinct artistic vision\, is a testament to Madison Gallery’s dedication to enhancing the cultural conversation in Southern California by bringing important Latin American and worldwide artists to the area. It’s a journey that will excite and captivate you. \n\n\n\n\n\nFounded by Lorna York in 2001\, Madison Gallery’s program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to Southern California for the first time. The core gallery program focuses on established and mid-career artists\, but the gallery also punctuates the program with historical exhibitions to provide depth and context. Artists represented by Madison Gallery receive critical attention and are widely exhibited. Many of the gallery’s primary artists\, shown initially with Madison Gallery\, are now being exhibited internationally and by established galleries in other cities\, proving that the gallery has become a springboard for young talent.

SUMMARY:Santiago Parra | Soaring Nature
DESCRIPTION:https://madisongalleries.com/exhibitions/11-santiago-parra-soaring-nature/ \nSan Diego\, California – Madison Gallery presents Santiago Parra for his solo exhibition Soaring Nature. Born in Colombia\, Parra’s journey has been marked by a diverse educational background\, starting at the Universidad Nacional de Colombia\, followed by art education at Universidad de los Andes\, Bogotá\, and later refining his craft at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. His artistic evolution is a testament to his dedication and the rich cultural influences shaping his distinctive style. \nA visual model with texture and fluidity of movement\, created by swirls and undulations of black paint\, distinguishes them in different ways. The bold\, expressive black linework reminiscent of Franz Kline’s canvases and Richard Serra’s charcoal drawings inspire Parra’s large-scale monochromes\, which present Parra’s natural being. \nParra’s art is a beautiful enigma\, a mystery of his subconscious that speaks for itself through the untamed brushstrokes. He is not particularly looking to “express” himself but to open what can’t be expressed and let that energy drive him. An animal-like instinct that urges him to move across the canvas without direction\, just notion. With no barriers in the way of acting\, Parra’s aesthetic explores and questions the essence of abstract image-making\, becoming a translation of the nature of being human onto a canvas. \n“As humans\, we live within the constraints of thoughts. It’s \nsomething we learn from a very young age: the important \ndistinctions between good and evil\, the correct ways to \nact\, how to contain or control our instincts\, and how to \njudge and archive all the overwhelming emotions that convey \nour own humanity. Thought not only directs our patterns and \nways of behaving day to day\, but it has become like a \nsecond skin that covers our animality. So much so that it \nis strange to think of ourselves as animals\, simple mammals \nwith a developed brain—a brain that thinks and thinks and \nthinks… \nBut behind\, within the body that thinks\, lies this organic \nand natural being whose laws are not determined by ideas\, \nthat fierce or undomesticated animal within. When I see the \npaintings of Santiago Parra\, I can feel the link with that \nnatural being\, with that part of me that is free and \nindomitable\, that flows and contorts. There is a connection \nin his paintings with that part of thought that is hidden\, \nthose thoughts that are not a link but a part of nature\, \nthat beautiful soaring nature that is a part of us.” \n– Lucía Morón \n2024 \nMadison Gallery and founder Lorna York have combined a series of selected works by Santiago Parra to produce an exhibition that captivates with its raw\, instinctual energy and profound exploration of abstract image-making. Parra’s expansive monochromes\, distinguished by their striking\, emotive black linework\, attract viewers to engage with the wild\, feral spirit beneath human consciousness. This show\, in addition to showcasing Parra’s distinct artistic vision\, is a testament to Madison Gallery’s dedication to enhancing the cultural conversation in Southern California by bringing important Latin American and worldwide artists to the area. \nParra has exhibited in London\, Bogotá\, Santiago\, Miami\, and Lisbon\, among other cities. His most notable collections can be found at the Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM)\, Miami\, USA\, Tanya C. Brillembourg Collection (USA)\, Jorge Pérez Collection (USA)\, Solita Mishaan Collection (Spain)\, Jean et Colette Cherqui Collection (France)\, Kehinde Wiley Collection (USA)\, Koç Art Collection (Istanbul\, Turkey)\, Cesar Gaviria Collection\, (Colombia)\, Collection Lazaro (Spain)\, and Solita Cohen Collection (USA). \nFounded by Lorna York in 2001\, Madison Gallery’s program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue.

SUMMARY:UNCHARTED | Max Frintrop & Donald Martiny
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Madison Gallery presents Uncharted. Lorna York\, founder of Madison Gallery\, personally curated this exhibition – bringing together Donald Martiny and Max Frintrop – two artists from different cultural backgrounds\, each engaged in an ongoing and intensely experimental investigation into the techniques and materials of art making. Despite their distinct artistic styles\, both artists can evoke an emotive sensation in movement and space\, inviting viewers to reflect on their experiences and the art itself. Uncharted is an abstract journey into the unknown\, where the two can celebrate form\, space\, and color to promise a visually exciting experience. Both artists will be present on the exhibition’s opening night\, September 14th\, 6 – 8 PM. \n\n\n  \n\n\n“Painting is in uncharted territory at this moment. The question\, ‘What is art?’ is no longer compelling\, as many artists and writers have successfully argued that anything can be art. \n\n\nA more thought-provoking and engaging question\, particularly relevant in our contemporary art landscape\, is\, ‘What are the criteria for art to be good?’ …” – Donald Martiny \n\n\n  \n\n\nMartiny advances this idea considerably further by freeing the gesture of gestural abstraction from the substrate\, which\, here to fore\, provided the context that brought the gesture to life. Working with polymers and dispersed pigments\, Martiny has developed a methodology that enables him to isolate his magnificently sculptural brushstrokes\, lifting them off the traditionality of the canvas. His brushstrokes nearly become life-like and are physically present to the viewer; the essence of his material allows him to work on a larger scale\, opposite of being restricted to the surface of a canvas. When installed\, these singular brushstrokes range from two to as many as twelve feet in length\, emitting a new kind of life into the space. \n\n\n  \n\n\nDonald Martiny was born in Schenectady\, NY\, 1953 and currently lives and works in Connecticut. He studied at the School of the Visual Arts\, The Art Students League in New York\, New York University\, and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. His most notable collections can be found at the Phoenix Art Museum (Phoenix)\, The Crocker Museum of Art (Sacramento\, CA)\, The Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth\, TX)\, The Newcomb Museum of Art at Tulane University\, (New Orleans\,) LA Fort Wayne Museum of Art\, (Fort Wayne\, IN)\, The Lamborghini Museum\, (Sant ‘Agata Bolognese\, Italy)\, One World Trade Center\, (New York City\, NY) and the Los Angeles International Airport\, (Los Angeles\, CA). \n\n\n  \n\n\nMax Frintrop’s paintings offer a distinctive journey welcoming the spectator to transcend into a two-dimensional space. Frintrop’s figuration truly focuses on the chromatic universe\, which allows the viewer to reflect inwards and outwards. This results in different interpretations based on one’s memory and life. Ultimately\, Frintrop takes everything from the viewer yet gives it back\, producing a silent congruence between the viewer and the painting. He says\, “It’s important that the mind rests in a neutral position occasionally. Sometimes\, it’s here—in this very state—when new things pop up from our subconscious. It’s a rare treasure\, a luxury\, and should be paid close attention to.”  His approach very much consists of the act of painting itself\, which is seen through the movement of his brushstrokes; the brush guides his hand\, and his subconscious takes on the motion of the work. Frintrop’s work consists heavily of abstract expressionism\, which emerged in Europe\, particularly Germany\, during World War II. Influenced by hard lines\, rigid paint placement\, and the significant size of his work\, Frintrop still plays into the spontaneity of gestural abstraction\, creating a perfectly balanced duality. \n\n\n  \n\n\nMax Frintrop\, born in Oberhausen in 1982\, lives and works in Dusseldorf. After studying under Albert Oehlen at the Dusseldorf Art Academy\, Frintrop became interested in combining the emotive\, gestural quality of abstract expressionism with the relative rigidity of constructivism. His works can be found in his most notable collections at the Kunstmuseum Bonn and the Lippisches Lands Museum. \n\n\n  \n\n\nUncharted is all about the artistic language of infinite possibilities captured by these skillful artists. Madison Gallery is excited to show the two side by side and delve into the new curiosities of what art was\, is\, and possibly will be. Martiny and Frintrop work theatrically to explore the uncharted realms of art\, through the creation of mixing vibrantly pigmented polymers to the dispersion of ink\, both in a manner that requires the artist to spontaneously react to the process. Since they are both quick-drying materials\, they must act in the moment to obtain the best results from their medium. The two artists look back into the history of artmaking for inspiration\, whether through their choice of material or technique\, to break traditional art boundaries. \n\n\n\n\n\nFounded by Lorna York in 2001\, Madison Gallery’s program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to Southern California for the first time. The core gallery program focuses on established and mid-career artists\, but the gallery also punctuates the program with historical exhibitions to provide depth and context.Artists represented by Madison Gallery receive critical attention and are widely exhibited. Many of the gallery’s primary artists\, shown initially with Madison Gallery\, are now being exhibited internationally and by established galleries in other cities\, proving that the gallery has become a springboard for young talent.

Madison Gallery invites you to the highly anticipated exhibition titled\, “HUNT”\, celebrating the iconic\, whimsical\, and significant works by renowned Hunt Slonem. \nThe Artist will be participating in an Artist Talk from 6 – 8 PM and will be signing the latest copy of his book “The Spirited Homes of Hunt Slonem”. Capsule summaries of the artist’s idiosyncratic interior design style\, “The Spirited Homes of Hunt Slonem” is about how Slonem employs color\, arranges an abundance of antique furniture\, and exhibits his own paintings with scores of historic portraits. “My homes are my life’s work – making old houses into a new form of my art\,” says Hunt Slonem in his preface. “More is more” is a fit adage for what this book reveals. \nInspired by nature and his 60 pet birds\, Hunt Slonem is best known for his distinct Neo-Expressionist oil paintings of bunnies\, butterflies\, and the tropical birds in his personal aviary. His lavishly colored canvases are populated with birds rendered with thick brushstrokes. “I was influenced by Warhol’s repetition of soup cans and Marilyn\,” Slonem says. “But I’m more interested in doing it in the sense of prayer\, with repetition… It’s really a form of worship.” Hunt Slonem tends to embrace the ephemeral beauty of nature\, a characteristic that brings a nurturing\, spiritual effect to his creations. \n“I have always found our enigmatic and natural world to be deeply inspiring and have made it my life’s work to instill its beauty into my art and creative endeavors. As I study and admire the divinity of animal spirits and muses of varying forms\, my long-established painting practice continues to inform this novel undertaking. My strong attitude toward color and reverence for the mysticism of nature can be witnessed in my art.” Hunt Slonem \nSlonem exhibits regularly at both public and private venues around the world\, and has received numerous honors and awards\, including a MacDowell Fellowship and National Endowment for the Arts grant. Slonem’s works can be found in the permanent collections of more than 250 museums around the world\, including the Miro Foundation\, the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the New Orleans Museum of Art\, the Whitney\, and the Guggenheim Museum. \nMadison Gallery was founded by Lorna York in 2001. The program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to San Diego for the first time. The core gallery program focuses on young and emerging artists\, but the gallery also punctuates the program with historical exhibitions to provide depth and context. Artists represented by Madison Gallery receive critical attention and are widely exhibited. Many of the gallery’s primary artists\, originally shown with Madison Gallery\, are now being shown internationally and by established galleries in other cities\, proving that the gallery has become a springboard for young talent.

SUMMARY:Sean Shanahan | AIR CHOIR
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California — Madison Gallery presents Seán Shanahan’s “Air Choir”\, the Irish Artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States. Shanahan’s use of colour and MDF wood lend his paintings a quality that feels simultaneously airy and dense\, exploring luminosity\, translucency\, and contour. More akin to installations than traditional one-dimensional paintings\, the pieces take a poetic form open to interpretation and introspection. \n“Air Choir” will exhibit twelve works creating a dialogue between the paintings Seán considers skeletal and works with fuller surfaces\, exploring emptiness and fullness. The paintings imbue an anodyne quality equally healing and ruminative\, inviting the viewer to question positive and negative space. If one were to cut these pieces open\, they would find layers of pigment that deepen as one voyages further. Perhaps this is also true of the universal sentient experience. The works possess a candid opulence and vitality that awaken in whichever room\, building\, or structure they inhabit. \n“The air in front of painting is altered\, like the air above mountains\, it sings\,” says the Artist\, who currently resides in Olgiate Molgora\, a small town between Milan and Como in Italy. \nThe title of the exhibition is an homage to music\, which resonates more with Shanahan than the overly contrived fine art lexicon. Similarly\, the experience of viewing these immersive pieces offers solace\, as listening to Ludovico Einaudi’s “Seven Days Walking” or the sound of a cool breeze rippling over the ocean’s surface. The mind feels capacious when viewing these paintings\, which seem to transform and take on new meaning the more one spends time with them. \nThe corporeal nature of Shanahan’s oeuvre comes from decades of research\, where the artist has studied deeply the etymology of light\, refraction\, absorption\, and form to convey his interpretation and experience of life. The result is a kind of salvation. \n\n\n\n“Shanahan’s painting refers solely to the here and now of the perceptual moment\, and if there is evidence of the temporality of its creation (evident through close observation of the surface)\, there is no transcendental dimension\, but rather a sort of secularization of monochrome poetics.” —Giorgio Verzotti for Artforum \nSean Shanahan (born John William Shanahan) was born in Dublin the 17th of May 1960. Shanahan is a visual artist whose practice resides primarily in painting. He has spent his childhood growing up in Britain receiving an English education. His academic career took shape at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea and the Croydon College of Art and Design where he pursued fine art and history of art studies. At the age of twenty-two years old\, in 1983\, he moved to Milan where he held his first solo show in the Luigi De Ambrogi gallery. In 1986\, he was awarded a scholarship for the Fundación Olivar de Castillejo in Madrid\, where he stayed until 1990. In 1997\, Shanahan moved to Montevecchia where he set up a studio and further developed his techniques in the extension of oil colours in homogenous layers through the use of window squeegee (window cleaning instruments) defined by tapering that restores three-dimensionality. The artistic direction taken by Shanahan has encountered the interest of Giuseppe Panza di Biumo\, who began to collect Shanahan’s works in a systematic strategy. Shanahan’s works collected in the Panza Collection have been exhibited through the years at important collective shows such as the Panza collection exhibition “State of Mind” held in 2010 at the Lucca Center of Contemporary Art\, at the Panza collection exhibition held in 2015 “Perception of the Future”\, and at the Panza Collection exhibition at the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia. Furthermore\, in Villa Panza in Varese Sean Shanahan has now been placed\, in a room at the first floor\, as a permanent installment. In addition to his ongoing practices\, Shanahan through the years has been invited in academies around the globe to hold several lectures\, however since 2019\, has become a professor for the Visual Art Department at Nuovo Accademia di Belle Arti. \nMadison Gallery was founded by Lorna York in 2001. The program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to San Diego for the first time. The core gallery program focuses on young and emerging artists\, but the gallery also punctuates the program with historical exhibitions to provide depth and context.

SUMMARY:Radenko Milak: ANGEL OF HISTORY
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Madison gallery presents Bosnian artist Radenko Milak\, who combines the photographic image with the painterly narrative. Like a chronicler of the present\, he addresses major contemporary issues and identifies historical connections. Milak’s paintings are always based on photos. In his paintings and animated films – mostly watercolors with black pigment – Radenko Milak analyses the role of contemporary image production in the formation of our historical and cultural memory. The Bosnian artist’s painting work centers on questions relating to how visual elements are fixed and stored – both in personal memories and as presented in the media of film and photography. \n“For his first solo exhibition in California\, at Madison Gallery\, Radenko Milak presents a corpus of works created during and after the years of stupor. These were the years of a pandemic that had frozen and suspended social time. In 2023\, everything seems to have returned to normal. The world has returned to the rhythm of conflicts and extreme climatic changes. We have not yet taken full measure of the impact the pandemic had on our lives. Radenko Milak’s works chronicle contemporary living conditions. He examines the disintegration of relationships in the megacities. He reveals the chiaroscuro of parallel solitudes. He reveals a historical truth that is\, for the moment\, beyond words. These silhouettes\, cutting through architectures that look unreal\, are shadows or ghosts. Their precariousness heralds their disappearance in silence. Radenko Milak provokes a subtle sense of anxiety. It awakens emotions\, a sensibility to the world and to others\, which we know that it is necessary\, if we want live fully. The artist captures the soul of the times\, its historical dimension. He turns the accidental into a coherent vision.” \n-Christopher Yggdre\, Curator and Artistic Director\, Foundation LAccolade (Insitut de France) & THE ELEMENTAL \n

SUMMARY:Cédrix Crespel: D  I  S  T  A  N  C  E
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California- Madison Gallery announces D I S T A N C E\, French artist Cédrix Crespel’s first solo US exhibition. A stunning and ethereal representation of love in landscapes\, of love in our surroundings\, of love outside the physical beings. The use of bold\, yet soft\, colors\, Crespel captures the desire and vulnerability of passion from afar. The feeling of endless depth\, of dynamic distance\, of eternal love and longing. \n\n\n” To face it\, to get lost in it and to surrender to it.\nThe landscape\, with its magnificence\, its ‘immensity\,’ and its indifference\, imposes its might and\nits power dynamics. The one who gazes upon it experiences a form of solitude\, vulnerability\,\nand inaccessibility: a state that\, in many ways\, resembles love.\nPainting the vaporization of love\, the vibration that lack can generate\, the projection of feelings. Painting emotions far beyond what can be seen. When we are both separated\, our landscapes clash and represent the distance between us. From her to me\, and vice versa. A form of landscape in love; showing what cannot normally be represented.” Cédrix Crespel \n\n\nCédrix Crespel’s paintings are a true reflection of his life\, a man whose notions of love and sensuality have been constantly questioned and deconstructed. By exploring different representations of femininity\, the artist creates a deep connection between his own existence and his art. \n\n\nIn his canvases\, swirls\, vapors\, and veils of the visible conceal a secret figuration. It is through subtle details and palpable sensuality that Cédrix Crespel stages his wife Tiphaine\, an undeniable presence since the beginning. His love and desire prefer to express themselves in intimacy and modesty. Thus\, the artist freezes in his paintings the materiality of flesh and the vivid emotion that accompanies it\, creating a dialogue of silence and subtleties. \n\n\nSince 2016\, Cédrix Crespel has focused his work on the notion of “correspondence” and the creation of a “new Entity” generated by the couple in art. He thus offers a contemporary and introspective vision of the relationship between art and life\, inviting the viewer to get lost in the layers of meaning and emotion in his work. \n\n\nCÉDRIX CRESPEL – D I S T A N C E SEPTEMBER 30 – OCTOBER 30\, 2023 \n\n\nMadison Gallery was founded by Lorna York in 2001. The program focuses on internationally recognized\, museum-level artists whose work contributes to domestic and international cultural dialogue. The gallery presents significant Latin artists and brings international artists to San Diego for the first time. The core gallery program focuses on young and emerging artists\, but the gallery also punctuates the program with historical exhibitions to provide depth and context.

SUMMARY:You Should Be Here
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California- Madison Gallery announces You Should Be Here\, a group exhibition that delves into the visual exploration of abstract form in movement and materials. The showcase features four artists who examine the ways in which shapes and physical configurations occupy space\, focusing on two distinct categories of abstract forms: Organic and Geometric. \nSantiago Parra\, a celebrated Colombian painter\, is widely recognized for his striking black-and-white artworks that evoke expansiveness and raw emotion. He ventures into the realm of organic forms by integrating marble dust\, allowing him to explore the depths of darkness and the myriad shades it holds. Parra’s artistic journey involves the creation of a single brushstroke that emerges from the depths of his subconscious. This technique is rooted in automatism\, where the artwork springs forth from the unconscious mind. The forms that Parra creates are explosive and boundless\, brimming with complexity that invites viewers to unravel the countless possibilities concealed within them. \nMax Frintrop\, from Germany\, utilizes ink as a medium for his artistic expressions. With a unique blowing technique\, he disperses pigment across the canvas\, engaging in a collaborative process with the medium itself. For Frintrop\, painting transcends mere creation; it becomes a channel for contemplation\, an extension of his conscious self. The outcome manifests as a collection of delicate organic shapes that bleed and intertwine\, capturing intricate thoughts and emotions on the canvas. Through this artistic process\, Frintrop delves into the interplay between arrangement and spaces\, unraveling the complexities of their relationships. \nElliott Routledge\, hailing from Australia and known by the pseudonym “FUNSKULL\,” skillfully combines organic and geometric elements\, resulting in captivating\, free-flowing shapes. Routledge’s work exists in a delicate equilibrium between expressive mark-making\, abstract form\, and often incorporates word-based art. His implementation of color theory and compositions seamlessly integrates subtle geometric hints through repetition and symmetry. \nOn the other hand\, Lori Cozen-Geller from the United States\, employs deliberately geometric and intentional forms in her artwork. Marked by meticulous precision\, Cozen-Geller’s pieces feature rigid structures enveloped in a high gloss\, mirror-like finish that accentuates their surface luster. This contrast between structure and surface challenges viewers’ perception of the object\, prompting a reevaluation of what is seen and how it is comprehended\, as aptly noted by art critic Peter Frank. \nThe exhibition “You Should Be Here” at Madison Gallery offers a captivating exploration of abstract form through the juxtaposition of organic and geometric shapes. By examining the works of Santiago Parra\, Max Frintrop\, Elliott Routledge\, and Lori Cozen-Geller\, viewers are immersed in a diverse range of artistic approaches that exemplify the expressive potential and aesthetic allure of organic and geometric forms within the realm of contemporary art.

SUMMARY:Donald Martiny “Urpflanze”
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Madison Gallery is excited to present Donald Martiny’s latest exhibition\, “Urpflanze“\, following his successful debut at the 59th Venice Biennale. Martiny delves into the emotionally charged themes of blue during the Romanticism era\, where the blue flower represented desire\, love\, and the metaphysical striving for the infinite and unreachable. “Urpflanze” translates to ‘original plant’ in German\, which refers to Martiny’s interpretation of the blue flower. \nMartiny’s work explores the movement and progression of a sculptural brushstroke and abstract gesture\, and his study of blues expands on these artistic ideas. He uses his artistic experience and masterful movements to represent this elusive blue flower in spontaneous ways\, harmoniously working with the many tones and depths of blue. H.H. Boyesen described Martiny’s interpretation of blue as “the deep and sacred longings of a poet’s soul”. \n“Donald Martiny’s work forces us to question the established definitions which form the backbone of our understanding of painting as both a pursuit and a product and of paint as a medium. In challenging the viewer in these ways\, it is not only visually exciting but intellectually invigorating.” -Professor Deborah Swallow\, Märit Rausing Director\, The Courtauld Institute of Art \nDonald Martiny\, born in Schenectady\, NY in 1953\, currently resides in Connecticut and is represented by galleries in Europe\, and the US with his artwork collected internationally. His recent solo exhibitions include the Paul Taylor Dance Company at the Lincoln Center\, NY\, and Personal Structures Reflections at the 2022 59th Venice Biennale. \n“The art of Donald Martiny exists somewhere between painting and sculpture. We are confronted with a singular brushstroke\, huge\, a seemingly spontaneous\, lavish eruption of color and texture on the wall. It is the mark distilled from painting\, the formerly minute detail writ large\, what we usually discover as a hidden and obscured part of the whole is made to be the whole itself\, the entire work a gesture on the wall.” -Donovan Irven\, White Hot Magazine

SUMMARY:William LaChance "TIMESHARE"
DESCRIPTION:Madison Gallery is pleased to announce William LaChance: TIMESHARE. In this\, the artist’s second solo project with Madison Gallery\, LaChance embraces the collision of unlike parts to create hybrid experiences and kaleidoscopic color spectrums. \n\nAs the title suggests\, TIMESHARE expands on the theme of painting’s ability to provide a form of escapism for the artist and viewer alike. The paintings imply but do not comply with traditional motifs of landscape\, figuration and pure abstraction- instead they are reimagined and cobbled together using colors and forms more akin to advertising\, souvenirs\, decorative murals\, t-shirt shops and arcades\, the visual language of travel. In deploying these vernacular signals\, these works present a kind of reverse approach to painting that one could fittingly associate with pop art\, but with the formal traits of light and space they simultaneously participate in a formal\, classical dialogue. \n\nWilliam LaChance (b. 1972\, St Louis\, Missouri) lives and works in St. Louis\, Missouri. He graduated with a BFA from The Kansas City Art Institute and MFA from Indiana University. LaChance’s pictures are associations of displaced forms and colors cribbed from graphic design\, fashion\, art history and nature itself cobbled together using a variety of methods and materials from painting and printmaking to assemblage and sewing. The paintings themselves have shifting hierarchies of similar concerns: of material exploration\, abstract identity\, formal space and narrative expression. They openly blur the boundary between high art and applied arts not only in principle but in practice- lending themselves to various manner of surface design\, from textiles and branding to fully realized earthworks. LaChance’s recent mural adorning the Kinloch Park basketball courts was named the best designed basketball court in the world by Architectural Digest. Since 2015\, LaChance has exhibited in London\, Paris\, New York\, Athens\, Miami\, San Diego\, Amsterdam and Tokyo. His works have been collected extensively in private and public collections worldwide\, including NIKE\, Pernod Ricard\, Warby Parker\, The U.S. Federal Reserve\, Hobbes London\, Milla Jovovich\, Sergio Marchionne / Ferrari and NBC. He has received press both online and in print\, including Artsy\, Juxtapoz\, Forbes\, Vogue\, L’Officiel\, Surface\, Dezeen\, Architectural Digest and Le Mille.

SUMMARY:Aldo Chaparro "That elusive sentiment"
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, December 8\, 2022 – Madison Gallery is pleased to welcome Aldo Chaparro to San Diego for his solo exhibition: That elusive sentiment. This marks Chaparro’s first project and collaboration with Madison Gallery. The artist will be in attendance the evening of January 28\, 2023 in celebration of the opening. \nAldo Chaparro is a Mexican artist born in 1965 who divides his time between Mexico City\, Monterrey\, Lima\, Madrid\, Paris\, and Southern California. He distributes his time among them\, seeking to generate a more intimate and deep connection with the cities where he develops his projects. \nChaparro’s work is based on the interactions between materials and disciplines\, from curatorship\, film\, public art\, architecture\, industrial and editorial design\, to music\, sculpture\, painting and installation. \n\nThis tendency to jump from one language to another has generated in him a constant concern about\nthe processes in art and the connection that these disciplines have with broader areas of society. In this way\, his work has become a testimony of various processes\, discarding in some way the idea that the value of the work is in the resulting object and its strict relationship with the art world. \n\nChaparro is best known for his use of sculpture and painting to explore form in post-industrial ways. The most obvious is the concept of sumi-e in Zen\, or the aesthetic in which simplicity and the idea of maximum effect is created with minimum means. For Chaparros work\, this simplicity of mediums is used to explore purity and the eternal nature of his subjects. Under the influence of artists such as Michelangelo Pistolleto\, Robert Morris\, and Jorge Luis Borges reflection and mirroring have been key points of his investigation. \n\nAldo Chaparro’s work is included in the collections of the The Jumex Foundation/Mexico\, The Coppel Collection/Mexico\, The CIFO – Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation/Miami\, FL/The Helga de Alvear Foundation\, Spain/ Pontificia Universidad Católica de Lima/ Peru\, Simon de Pury/ UK\, The Douglas Baxter Collection/New York\, Pierre Huber Collection/Switzerland and the Jorge Perez Museum Collection/Miami\, FL.

SUMMARY:Anne-Sophie Ogaard "PERCEPTION OF LIGHT"
DESCRIPTION:San Diego\, California – Madison Gallery announces Anne-Sophie Øgaard’s  PERCEPTION OF LIGHT\, the artist’s first solo exhibition with Madison Gallery. Born in Norway in 1971  Anne-Sophie Øgaard’s work addresses the boundaries between sculpture and painting. Her pieces explore the possibilities that emerge where painting ends and sculpture begins. Sculpture holds the possibility of magic; things can appear or disappear depending on where you stand in relation to the work. Paintings do not function like this; regardless of the viewer’s position\, the painting will always look essentially the same. This relationship is a source of inquiry in how her paintings are conceived\, perceived\, and received by the audience as well as the context of the artwork in relation to space. Where light\, form\, and color become a subject matter not only for how light functions\, but the light itself. \n“In my mind I explore the relationship between light and space. Light enables vision in a meaningful connection with the world through the fact that people respond to the space based on the way the light exposes it to them. In my process I strategically use the perception of light. intuitively light becomes a medium\, creating the illusion of perspective and depth in my work. People’s perception and response to the space will be manipulated as the light changes in that space\, and the impression of my work will change as well. Forcing the viewer’s movement and active participation in time and space.” – Anne-Sophie Øgaard \n\n“Even though my work has dimensional qualities like in a sculpture\, I don’t approach them as a sculpture. Even though I am using untraditional mediums like sand\, cement and plaster\, I still consider my work as a painting\, and myself as a painter.” – Anne-Sophie Øgaard

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: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: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.
