Georg Oskar: After the Punch

November 3 - 30

JD Malat Gallery presents Georg Óskar’s debut solo show, “After the Punch”. The internationally-recognized Berlin-based artist from Iceland uses large-scale canvases to ignite conversation on the complexities of contemporary life. The exhibition is a selection of seven brand-new paintings, encompassing the signature visual vocabulary of Óskar’s oeuvre. For the first time, Óskar reveals a vulnerable part of himself with the array of works in After the Punch.

This exhibition is a strong emotional rendering of Óskar’s experience. His embrace of loneliness is exalted and transformed into a powerful solitude, which heals and offers a dynamic transition for the artist. The recovery process ‘after the punch’ gave the artist immense inspiration to reflect on his life, as well as the current state of the world and the time we live in.

Founded in London in 2017, JD Malat Gallery specializes in established and emerging international artists. Through a program of thoughtfully curated year-round solo and group exhibitions, with contributions from curators, artists, and academics, JD Malat Gallery offers a constantly changing space for its artists and public.
