On view—We are pleased to present the third solo exhibition with @jimthorell under the title Durian in a drainpipe at SETAREH Berlin. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ In several of Jim Thorell's new paintings, flowers bloom out of these at once antediluvian and hypermodern atmospheres. An almost generic signifier executed in a style that skilfully echoes childish drawing, the flower motif is a painterly note that can and has been reinterpreted in the lineage of painting to which Thorell belongs. In this cartoon flower, viewers may hear whispers of certain precedents: Christopher Wool or Cy Twombly.⁠ ⁠ ⁠Click link in bio to discover the Online Viewing Room⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ _ _ _ _ _⁠ setareh.com ⁠ #setareh #setarehgallery #jimthorell #berlinart #contemporaryart #painting #largescalepainting #berlin #düsseldorf ⁠
