Intersection: Group show - Brussels
The Charles Riva Collection is delighted to present INTERSECTION. This exhibition brings together twelve artists from Riva’s personal collection. They encompass three generations and four different countries – Georg Baselitz, Eliza Douglas, Spencer Lewis, Paul McCarthy, Jonathan Meese, David Ostrowski, Marco Pariani, Daniel Richter, Cheyney Thompson, Josh Smith, Olivier Souffrant, and Christopher Wool.
INTERSECTION presents an overview on contemporary painting – its pictorial idioms as well as its direct contemporary resonances. The twelve works meet and diverge at the crossroads of figurative and abstraction. The driving motivation for Charles Riva is the idea of putting together works of different origins in relation and contrast to each other. This stems from his desire to break away from the generic white cube concept of an exhibition space that is typical for contemporary art galleries. The exhibition therefore is a natural choice: a cross road between graphic arts, abstraction, and figurative work, mutually enriching each other, with pieces of exceptional quality, hence the title of the exhibition INTERSECTION.
