Winter Exhibition

JD Malat Gallery is pleased to present its Winter Exhibition, a group presentation spanning abstraction, figuration and sculpture. The exhibition reflects the gallery’s programme across generations and geographies, foregrounding works that engage material intensity, surface and spatial presence. The Winter Exhibition offers a considered dialogue between distinct practices, allowing each work to assert its own visual and conceptual weight.

Several artists engage with landscape and scale, from Conrad Jon Godly’s monumental alpine compositions, which render mountainous forms through dense, materially driven layers of paint, to Masayoshi Nojo’s layered surfaces, where aluminium and silver foil create shifting optical depth. Elsewhere, abstraction is approached through gesture and rhythm, as seen in the works of Ed Moses and Santiago Parra, where repetition and mark-making become structural devices.

Figurative and symbolic elements emerge through Luis Olaso’s still life compositions and Katrin Fridriks’ dynamic abstraction introduces movement and chromatic force, while RETNA’s calligraphic language bridges contemporary abstraction and historical script. Richard Hudson’s mirrored steel sculptures punctuate the exhibition spatially, reflecting both the surrounding architecture and the viewer, and introducing a physical counterpoint to the painted works.

JD Malat Gallery’s Winter Exhibition reflects the commitment to presenting rigorous contemporary and post-war practices within a cohesive yet open framework. The exhibition invites viewers to move between material, scale and sensibility, offering a moment of reflection at the close of the year.
