Press Release

This February, Hauser & Wirth Downtown Los Angeles will host ‘The Bleed, Part II,’ British artist George Rouy’s first US solo exhibition with the gallery. Following upon Rouy’s recent London presentation, this ‘second chapter’ will feature all new works extending his exploration of human mass, multiplicity and movement. In works characterised by a distinctive dynamism, Rouy captures essential experiences of contemporary life – desire and vexation, the urge to connect frustrated by alienation – to address emotional extremities in a globalized, technologically-driven age.

The exhibition will be accompanied by the US premiere of ‘BODYSUIT,’ a collaborative creation between Rouy and internationally acclaimed choreographer Sharon Eyal. Details and ticket information are forthcoming.
