Info: www.gallerypoulsen.com/en/exhibition/jp-invitationalEmbarking on a journey through enthralling three-dimensional realms, Jean-Pierre Roy, Andy Cross and Johnston Foster converge in their exploration of art’s boundless dimensions in JP Invitational. In this exhibition, Roy invites Cross and Foster to continue a conversation between them that started almost 20 years ago in Chelsea, New York. The exhibition opening will take place on Saturday, May 25th, 12.00 – 16.00 at Gallery Poulsen, where Jean-Pierre Roy will be making the journey across the Atlantic to hold an artist talk at 13.00.
A beam of light shines through collapsed ceilings, illuminating the faces of otherworldly figures inhabiting the debris of abandoned buildings situated beneath blue skies in Jean-Pierre Roy’s latest works. In a world where form and physics are intertwined, Jean-Pierre Roy uses imaginative authorship to create visually coherent experiences that combine the ineffable and imperceptible in hyperrealistic transcendental works.
For generations, people have collected pictures of loved ones as a way to hold onto cherished memories and to feel connected even when physically apart. Solidarity and community are two recurring themes in Andy Cross’s bold, kaleidoscopic paintings depicting portraits in personal prismatic worlds. Inspired by the isolation during the pandemic, this series of works came about as a response to a period of great solitude.
Johnston Foster presents before us a series of turquoise skulls filled with intricate miniature cosmoses that evoke the timeless contemplation of life and death that has captivated art history for centuries passed. Fueled by an impulse to take recognizable objects and reconstruct new forms, Foster has a unique talent for transforming discarded objects into remarkable figurative sculptures.
Vernissage: Saturday, May 25th, 12.00 – 16.00
The exhibition presents a body of 15 oil paintings and 3 wall-mounted sculptures.
