As artist and writer James Nares explains, “These paintings represent the evidence of their own autonomy. They are metaphoric in an open way, not to interpretation as image but as underlying principles and facets of nature.”Weather-beaten fabrics provide a temporal point of departure. “Julian is drawn to surfaces and objects that show their own history—scuffed-up cardboard, the discarded sails of sailing ships, Kabuki theater backdrops…he thinks of them as ‘opportunities’—calls them ‘veils of time.’” Read More Julian Schnabel, Let the Wind Speak III, 2018, oil and gesso on found fabric, 131" × 175" (332.7 cm × 444.5 cm) Learn More Close modal Julian Schnabel Let the Wind Speak III 2018 oil and gesso on found fabric 131" × 175" (332.7 cm × 444.5 cm) How can we reach you?

Once a utilitarian object, the fabric ground contains traces of its past life and the perfection of the coincidental opening a window into both our world and one imagined in dense paint. “The paintings are full of dynamic surprises….Small fire, a prism, and a window-like opening in a place with no wall, blue sky beyond…” Close modal Julian Schnabel The Patch of Blue the Prisoner Calls the Sky III 2019 oil on found fabric 108" × 90" (274.3 cm × 228.6 cm) Inquire How can we reach you?
