To celebrate the opening of a major exhibition of the work of the internationally-acclaimed Spanish painter, Juan Uslé, The Irish Museum of Modern Art is delighted to offer a limited edition print for sale.

Juan Uslé: Open Rooms, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Ireland, comprises some 40 abstract paintings dating from the early 1990s to his most recent works. Although influenced by ideas ranging from philosophy to multiculturalism, Uslé’s work is not in any way representational, rather it seeks to convey his personal vision of the world, which is poetic rather than narrative.

Born in Santander in 1954, Juan Uslé began painting in the early 1980s. Since then his work has been presented internationally in many important museum and gallery exhibitions, including at the MACBA, Barcelona, the Saatchi Gallery, London, the Museum Moderner Kunst, Vienna, and at Documenta IX, Kassel, Germany.

Commenting on Uslé’s work, the curator of the exhibition, IMMA Director Enrique Juncosa, said: “His work depicts the history of painting, with a complete awareness of its linguistic splendour . . . But it also expresses a vision of the world which moves and affects us, exploiting the power of metaphors and symbols which derives from the assimilation of new ideas and of a world which has changed externally, above all, with the extensive use of new technologies.”

The Edition is for sale, unframed, through the Friends Office at IMMA.

It will be on display at IMMA during the Juan Uslé: Open Rooms exhibition until 3 January 2005.
