JD Malat Gallery is proud to present 'Whiplines, Waterfalls and Worms', a solo exhibition by the legendary Post-War West Coast artist Ed Moses (1926 - 2018). 'Whiplines, Waterfalls and Worms' presents a dynamic start to the year by bringing together the late works of Ed Moses. Born in Long Beach, California, Moses is renowned for his eclectic body of work which engages with the varying possibilities of abstraction. Moses was among the first generation of artists to be shown at Ferus Gallery, L.A., in 1957, where he started the 'Cool School' of artists which included Ed Ruscha, Robert Irwin, Larry Bell, Edward Kienholz, John Altoon, Ken Price and Billy Al Bengston. Curated in collaboration with the Ed Moses Studio, and accompanied by an essay by Dr Richard Davey, the writer and friend of the late Moses, 'Whiplines, Waterfalls and Worms' unveils the exploratory thread of 'mark making' that runs through the work of Moses' later years. The exhibition will showcase the incredibly adventurous work from the last two decades of Moses' life and career. Lines, swirling swathes and crackled layers of paint come together in a series of 'whiplines, waterfalls and worms', in an effort to display Moses' relentless experimentation with form and to underline his role as a 'mutator' in the field of abstract art.
