Julian Schnabel
New Paintings
Chang Art, Beijing
¡°Painting is like breathing to me. It¡¯s what I do all the time. Every day I make art, whether it is painting, writing or making a movie.¡± –Julian Schnabel, 2008
Watergate Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of recent paintings by Julian Schnabel. As the first exhibition of the New Year, the show will be held from January 13 to February 20, 2010.
Julian Schnabel is an American artist and filmmaker, who received international recognition for his multidisciplinary approach to his creation or art. With his ground-breaking paintings and award-winning films over a 30-year career, Schnabel was perceived as a heroic figure in the contemporary art world and set an example to younger generation of artists. Last year, the Watergate Gallery, Seoul and Chang Art, Beijing showcased Schnabel¡¯s retrospective prints exhibition and was well received by the media.

The current exhibition features a total of 11 pieces of Schnabel¡¯s work including his new paintings (2007-2008) and velvet prints (1984). One of the series of paintings for this exhibition, China Paintings, was first presented at the Phillips de Pury & Company¡¯s exclusive showing for the Saatchi Gallery in 2008. Schnabel¡¯s latest paintings will once again reveal his unconventional way of breaking the traditional pictorial element.
From his seminal exhibition at the Mary Boone Gallery, New York in 1979, Schnabel has continued to chart a career that challenges our notion of the making of art. Since the 1980s, Schnabel remains one of the most important and influential artists of his generation. Endowed with creativity and boldness, his art world transcends painting, photography, sculpture, design, and film directing. For his film work, he won the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and Golden Globe for Best Director and was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Director.
Maintaining his life as a film director, Schnabel continues to create new series of paintings every year. His works is being exhibited internationally and they are included in major public and private collections all over the world. Among the public collection is at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York, a luxury boutique hotel designed by the artist himself. His work is being displayed with artists like Damien Hirst, Keith Haring, Andy Warhol and Richard Prince.
In this group of very recent works, Schnabel has once again expressed pure pleasure in paint and texture. We hope his new paintings will drive the Korean viewers to experience the exhilarating and dynamic world of Schnabel¡¯s art.
