Field and Coast Paintings
29 June - 23 July 2023
Catto Gallery Hampstead London NW3
A collection of new oil paintings made late 2022 and 2023 of Italian fields and the Costa Brava on the Catalan coast.
"The mysteries and beauties of oil paint take quite a bit of coaxing to reveal themselves. Luckily for me, I know they exist." So says Julian Vilarrubi – whose latest bout of painterly 'foraging' is revealed in a superb collection of new works for Catto Gallery.”
“These landscape paintings are a delight. They are wonderfully ambiguous – somewhere between representative and abstract, flat and multi-dimensional. And the same goes for the colours – which are occasionally realistic, but can also be exaggerated as if from some 1950s technicolour movie.”
“This 'in between' effect is fine by Julian, who adds that the way he paints contributes to the ambiguity. He says: "I make drawings and colour studies on-site and create the work back in the studio. This means memory becomes a more significant aspect than the strictly observational...somewhere in between the drawings, the studies and the memories lies the point of it all. To get to that and express it is the challenge."
