Luis Olaso at JD Malat Gallery, London
Spanish artist Luis Olaso, known for his colorful and abstract depictions of plants and organic shapes, is having his first solo exhibition in the U.K. "Physis" at London's JD Malat Gallery comprises 11 new mixed-media paintings and offers a window into the expressive possibilities of contemporary still life. The exhibition title comes from the Greek philosophical and scientific word meaning growth or change in nature; this idea is influential to the artist who allows his paintings to develop from a subconscious process.
"I consider all my work as a kind of continuous process of evolution, the elements, colors, and shapes mutate spontaneously, and I don't know where they will go in the future," Olaso said.
