Vivian Suter

New York: 21st Street

Gladstone is pleased to present its first exhibition with Argentine-Swiss artist Vivian Suter. Comprised exclusively of mixed media paintings, this show furthers Suter’s singular style of installation, in which canvases flood the gallery space, creating an enveloping mise-en-scène of visual characters that intermingle, juxtapose, and cavort with one another. Composed individually, the works on view – through their unique display – inevitably become an interconnected painterly biome, openly inviting gallery-goers into the artist’s cosmos.
