Overview
Installation shot of The Garden by Luis Olaso
JD Malat Gallery is excited to announce the opening of "The Garden", a solo-show by Bilbao-based artist Luis Olaso (b. 1986). On view from July 13th until August 8th, "The Garden" presents a new body of abstract still-lifes inspired by the vibrant dining culture and flora that fill Olaso’s day to day.
 
Identifying as a self-taught painter, Olaso has defined his process as akin to therapy – a moment where he is free of social conditioning, obligations, and pretenses. Through this new show, Olaso draws the viewer a seat at his table, immersing them in his memories of dining, meeting, and living in Bilbao.
 
Challenging the conventional white-walled gallery as a "blank canvas", Olaso has created an all-encompassing experience, where each work connects into a wall-to-wall abstract rendition of his environment. With The Garden, Olaso offers a space to stop and connect with his works, as "just as [my paintings] come from a specific personal moment on my part, the viewer will connect either with my message, or seek to travel to your own 'Garden' and make your personal journey."
