James Rosenquist:  Universe

05.07.2024 - 31.10.2024


The exhibition “James Rosenquist: Universe” showcases his innovative endeavors to push the boundaries of painting and his lifelong exploration of the universe, time, and space. The exhibition aims to bring together the artist’s works chronologically, spanning from his early works, which demonstrate not only his radical experiments with s, pushing the boundaries of the field of painting, but also his innovative use of vibrant color palettes to his later works, which explore the possibilities of perception of time and space, surrealist compositions, and abstract techniques. The exhibition will also feature the artist’s ‘source collage’ works, which served as a preparatory approach to imagery, illuminating his practice, influences, and motivations in depth.

The exhibition space was designed with inspiration from Rosenquist’s early billboard work, using steel pipe frames as a defining visual element. A bright white gallery introduces the vastness of the universe, while a transition through a tunnel leads into a deep navy space. Here, focused lighting on the artworks enhances a dreamlike, immersive atmosphere.
