Sadie Coles HQ is delighted to announce a new solo show by Rudolf Stingel across both gallery spaces. Stingel has created a series of large-scale ‘gauze’ paintings and a number of photorealist paintings of medieval carvings of saints. This conjunction of abstraction and figuration – which the curator Francesco Bonami has called a negotiation of eternal time (kronos) and the individual moment (kairos)[1] – has been a defining feature of Stingel’s twenty-five year career. It also highlights a dialectic underpinning his work between the painted subject and painting as subject.
