Henrik Aa. Uldalen: Lethe

After internationally recognised artist Henrik Uldalen's first solo exhibition captivated millions all over the world, JD Malat Gallery is proud to present, Lethe, the artist's second solo exhibition at the gallery. One of the rare contemporary artists with almost one million followers on Instagram, his influence in today's art world is undeniable. Uldalen, also renowned for the thickly impastoed tumultuous portraits that illustrate the darker side of human emotion, has surpassed himself with a new body of work touching on themes of modern-day politics through his turmoiled figures.

Lethe explores themes of history vs. the collective memory. In this exhibition, Uldalen raises questions about the past, and society's eagerness to return to it, by talking about the frail social recollection of history. His aim is to shed light on past patterns leading to conflict and errors.
