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.
British artist George Rouy’s dynamic and signature use of the human figure, vexed with desire, alienation and crisis, speaks to the extremities of our time; portraits of identity in a globalized and technologically driven 21st Century.




Hauser & Wirth was founded in 1992 in Zurich by Iwan Wirth, Manuela Wirth and Ursula Hauser, who were joined in 2000 by Partner and Vice President Marc Payot. A family business with a global outlook, Hauser & Wirth has expanded over the past 26 years to include outposts in Hong Kong, London, New York, Los Angeles, Somerset and Gstaad. The gallery represents over 70 artists and estates who have been instrumental in shaping its identity over the past quarter century, and who are the inspiration for Hauser & Wirth’s diverse range of activities that engage with art, education, conservation and sustainability.
