Santiago Parra: Black Matter

"I know I am expressing myself when I paint but I can't explain the source of the resulting gestures. I am not in any way suggesting that black matter is responsible for what I paint, rather I am interested in the relationship between the two unexplained movements, the one observed in the universe and the one traced by my brush." - Santiago Parra

JD Malat Gallery is proud to present Black Matter, a solo exhibition by Colombian artist Santiago Parra in Switzerland's leading cultural hub St. Moritz, 16 July - 12 September 2021.

Having exhibited in world leading cultural centres such as London, Mexico, Miami and Madrid, Parra is internationally recognised for his powerful black abstract paintings on raw canvas, each made with a single brushstroke. Black Matter marks Parra's very first solo exhibition in St. Moritz at Galerie 10 and seeks to underline his role as a protagonist in the field of abstract painting.
