About Painting
May 30–August 2, 2025
Los Angeles

The paintings of Andreas Schulze (*1955) and Salvo (1947–2015) depict intriguing worlds unlike any other. Across vibrant landscapes and eccentric interiors, their unique conceptual approaches to painting evolved over decades of experimentation with color, light and form. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are proud to present an exhibition of new works by Schulze alongside paintings by Salvo, bringing into focus their parallel contributions to the discourse of contemporary painting and their deft manipulation of paint to depict shifting spatial and light effects. The exhibition’s presentation at the Los Angeles gallery brings into focus this particular concern with light and space—a feature so prevalent in the history of modern art in Southern California, from its impressionist, plein-air roots to the reflective plastics and resins of the 1960s onward.

The paintings of Andreas Schulze (*1955) and Salvo (1947–2015) depict intriguing worlds unlike any other. Across vibrant landscapes and eccentric interiors, their unique conceptual approaches to painting evolved over decades of experimentation with color, light and form. Working in Turin, Salvo made a radical departure from Arte Povera circles, first to text-based conceptual art and then in 1974 to painting that looked to art historical traditions from Giotto to Surrealism. In Cologne in the 1980s, Schulze developed a practice that balances representation and abstraction and draws also from the past, while infusing his surreal scenes with humor and irony. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are proud to present an exhibition of new works by Schulze alongside paintings by Salvo, bringing into focus their parallel trajectories and contributions to the discourse of contemporary painting. Originally conceived by the late Pasquale Leccese, who knew both artists intimately, this exhibition is dedicated to his memory.

In 1970 Giorgio Persano opened 'Multipli', his first gallery in Torino. 'Multipli' was exceptional for its time. Working with Arte Povera artists and with other Italian artists linked to the conceptual art of the era, 'Multipli' produced a significant body of multiples from 1970 to 1975.
