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.
