Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by David Salle at the Los Angeles gallery, the artist’s first solo exhibition in LA since 1997. Arguably the leading postmodern painter of the last forty-five years, Salle combines images from a variety of sources, all rooted in what the artist calls the "presentational mode." His practice is grounded in the art of juxtaposition; his "style" is the integration of disparate, contrasting styles, all resolved into dynamic, highly malleable compositions. Salle’s image clusters are analogous to musical chords, in which notes, at precise intervals to one another, are struck at the same time, producing an emotional resonance.
