Dan Walsh, Works on Paper

Slewe Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of a new exhibition by American artist Dan Walsh (*1960, USA). Walsh, known for his playful minimal abstract paintings, will focus this time on his drawings he recently made. The exhibition will open Saturday September 6 and will last until October 11, 2014.

Dan Walsh, born in 1960 in Philadelphia (US), is one of the most remarkable abstract artists in the United States today and currently one of the participating artistst at the Whitney Biennial in New York. He makes playfully minimal abstract paintings, drawings and books, in which he explores ‘process generated images’, the artist’s method of creating images shaped by the process of their own making.

After his study at Hunter College he started showing his work at Paula Cooper Gallery in NY since 1993 and several galleries in Europe, such Galerie Tschudi in Glarus/Zuoz (CH) and Xippas in Paris, this exhibition will be his fifth show at Slewe in Amsterdam. His prints and limited-edition books were subject of a solo show at the Cabinet des Estampes du Musée d’Art et d’histoire in Geneva (CH). Walsh’s work was also included in important group shows, such as the Ljubljiana Biennial, Slovena and the Lyon Biennial of Contemporary Art in 2003. His works have been collected by several internationally important private and public art collections, such as the MoMA in New York, Saatchi in London, FNAC in Paris and AKZO Nobel Art Foundation in Amsterdam. In 2012 the Rode Island School of Design Museum presents a solo show of his paintings. He lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
