LEONARDO ANKER VANDAL

Cadogan Gallery is delighted to announce The Shyness of the Peaks, a new body of work by Leonardo Anker Vandal opening in London on 3 July. In this evocative new body of work, Vandal’s paintings inhibit many tales as he composes a polyphonic visual narrative—one melody unfolding in three distinct songs: the duality, the antithesis, and the contrast. These paintings concentrate primarily on order and symmetry, but beneath their surface lies an alchemy: the unpredictable reaction between ink and water on raw linen. The medium bleeds, spreads, and fuses, softening the boundaries between form and formlessness, until what remains is a terrain of blurred contours and hallucinating lines. The liminal spaces created are at once deliberate and accidental, allowing Vandal to conceive of his own work as a viewer.
