Sebastian Hosu: This Space Between Us
We are very pleased to announce the upcoming solo show by Sebastian Hosu titled This Space Between Us. It will be his third solo show with the gallery. The artist will present brand new works from the studio in which he continues his exploration of the possibilities of contemporary painting to invoke the sensation of moments which are fleeting and ephemeral, yet presented with breathing presence and rendered in beautiful painterly gestures.
Sebastian Hosu's figurative compositions and their abstract forms combine technical skill, decisiveness and intuition at just a decisive, at just the right moment. The depictions of human bodies embedded in landscapes appears sometimes more concrete, sometimes more abstract. In this way, occasionally they can be rather sensed and 'felt' than clearly recognized. It is a “border area of the representable” (Kito Nedo) through which Sebastian Hosu allows us to immerse ourselves in his pictorial situations and painterly moments. One might say, the beauty of his painterly gestures creates the impression of a painterly-performative form of remembering - or re-experiencing - of fleeting moments; moments that take shape in his paintings in an exciting and dynamic way.
