__Adam Pendleton
Galerie Max Hetzler, London is pleased to present These Gestures Towards You, a solo exhibition of new works by Adam Pendleton. This is the artist’s third solo presentation with the gallery, and the first in the London space.
Drawing on notions of abstraction, translation and transference, the exhibition positions a single work composed of 45 ceramic paintings in dialogue with four of Pendleton’s large-scale drawings. So-termed for their painterly character, the ceramics are presented against a black-painted wall in an ostensibly linear formation. Circle motifs, brush-like strokes and drips are all executed with ceramic glazes and overlaid atop a fired metallic and reflective silver ground. Rendered on an intimate scale, each ceramic painting is at once multifarious, individual, unique – and part of a greater whole.
