nuns + monks at the sea
January 28 — March 4, 2023
Brussels
Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present nuns and monks at the sea, an exhibition of new works by Ugo Rondinone. The show brings together a selection of painted sculptures from his ongoing body of work, nuns + monks, and paintings from his Mattituck series, depicting sunsets at the artist's home on Long Island, New York. This marks the first time either series has been presented in Belgium. As is the case with all earlier presentations, this group of paintings and sculptures were made specifically for this context, offering the viewer a serene, soulful, and contemplative environment in which to experience these quiet, powerful works.
