George Rouy SHADOWING

Almine Rech is pleased to announce George Rouy's exhibition 'SHADOWING' at Pablo Picasso's sculpture studio at the Château de Boisgeloup.

Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso supports Picasso Château de Boisgeloup exhibitions. George Rouy is co-represented by Hannah Barry Gallery and Hauser & Wirth.

George Rouy (b. 1994, Kent, UK) lives and works in London. Rouy's approach to the body—and his pursuit of painting—is one of contradiction, harmony and perpetual transformation, criss-crossing gender, form and disposition. His work is a fever dream of amorphous, fluid embodiment: rhapsodic portraits of 21st century desire, of physical dissonance, mystery and secrecy, ecstasy and turmoil, proximity and distance. We are in a time of renewed and committed interest in figurative painting and Rouy uses the figure—constrained and liberated—as many-sided prism to examine and interrogate the contemporary crucibles of gender, fiction and technology.
