John Zurier – Far again

At first glance, American artist John Zurier’s paintings give the impression of being monochrome, but on closer examination they reveal rich nuances and modulations in colour and treatment. This is a subtle, finely tuned and consistent abstract painting where nothing is superfluous. John Zurier was born in Santa Monica, California, in 1956. His practice is based in Berkeley, California, and Reykjavik. The pieces in this exhibition are from recent years. Many of them were made in Iceland in 2020. This is John Zurier’s first solo exhibition at a museum outside the USA.
