The Story
This book was published on the occasion of Albert Oehlen: New Paintings at Gagosian, Hong Kong, the artist’s first exhibition in Asia. The volume presents a series of new works in watercolor on canvas. Emphasizing the importance of spontaneity within his artistic method, Oehlen’s use of watercolor marks a stylistic return to his hazy, blended, almost impressionistic oil paintings dating from 2016 and earlier. The bilingual (English/Chinese) catalogue features a text by Christian Malycha, as well as photographs of the works in process.
