    Van Doren Waxter is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new work by Madrid-based Spanish artist Jeronimo Elespe, on view at 23 East 73rd Street from March 30 to May 6, 2023. The exhibition will include a suite of paintings on linen and aluminum, drawings, and prints. Celebrated for his hallucinatory, often miniaturist paintings and drawings made in small, dappled brushstrokes, the late Peter Schjeldahl enthused in The New Yorker that Elespe possesses “a brooding and delicate way with grays [that] evokes the austere, magical gravitas of Spanish classical painting—by Velázquez, even” and that his “layered, tiny, sensitive strokes build to monumental effect.”

    An installation of works spanning a variety of media, materials, and substrates will illustrate the dialectic nature of Elespe’s multidisciplinary practice. Paintings, drawings, and prints will be interspersed, highlighting the artist’s interconnected, idiosyncratic, and layered approach to image-making. The display of varied media side by side is in line with many of the broader questions guiding Elespe’s practice. Both explicitly and implicitly Elespe explores metaphorical horseshoes between seemingly opposing conceptual binaries. Dreams and memories are often the subjects of his work, depicting the intangible realm of the mind onto tangible art objects. The subjects displayed in each piece often slip between obscuring ethereal shrouds and visible corporeal forms.
