Overview
Delimbo Gallery is proud to announce the solo exhibition of Michael Swaney, Canadian-born artist currently based in Barcelona.
Swaney's work combines the charm of naive painting with a delicate touch that is all his own. Each painting is a unique and intricate representation of the world around him, whether it is his new series of window displays such as 'Charcuterie', a personal take on the classic grocery store, his renowned series of hands, or the work entitled 'Jardín de luz', one of the centrepieces of the exhibition, which consists of six separate paintings, we find a series of flowers painted in oil on canvas that are both materially and conceptually charged; in this nature inspired series the viewer is invited to explore the beauty and complexity of flowers and plants in a new and fascinating way.Swaney is widely known for his expressive paintings and sculptures that invite the viewer to question customs, rituals, and objects from the perspective of the absurd. His eagerness to reproduce situations from our everyday lives means that, once introduced into the work, they adhere to a surrealist logic that leaves no one indifferent. According to Swaney, his artistic vision is informed by the rebellious spirit of Art Brut, especially Jean Dubuffet, as well as the artists of the CoBrA group. Whatever the source or image, Swaney seeks to convey raw intuition.
Swaney graduated from Capilano University in Vancouver, after which he worked in Canada as part of the Humanfive artist collective before moving to Barcelona in 2006. Since then, he has exhibited internationally since 2004, with solo shows in galleries in Barcelona, Copenhagen, Madrid, New York, Berlin, and Miami.
Swaney's recent paintings, which will be on display at Delimbo Gallery, are a testament to his talent and unique vision. The exhibition promises to be an exciting event, not to be missed by art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
