Julian Schnabel returns to painting after almost a decade of making a career shift towards filmmaking (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, nominated for an Oscar last 2007). Now, a full collection of plate paintings will be on display at New York’s Pace Gallery. This will, in fact, be one of the most anticipated social and cultural events this February – and perhaps this year. When you get a chance, take a stroll down West 25th Street and see the show, which will run from February 24 until March 25.
Schnabel says about the new series, “the fragments and colours make it feel like they’re made of leaves and that you’re not looking at a painting but at nature. Yet as soon as you step back from them, they assume a pictorial quality.”

“Julian is one of the seminal artists of the 20th century, and he was a huge force for change in the 1980s and ’90s. And although he has been out of the spotlight for a number of years, people recognise him as a truly great artist who is rising again,” says Pace Gallery president Marc Glimcher.
