Charles Schwall: Sea Lover

Bruno David is pleased to present Sea Lover, an exhibition by Kansas City-based artist
Charles Schwall. This will makes his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. In conjunction with the exhibition, Bruno David Gallery will publish a catalogue of the artist’s work with an in-depth exhibition history and bibliography.
Charles Schwall’s recent body of work, Sea Lover, is an exploration of two material languages, paint, and textiles; the exhibition is comprised of large canvas paintings and sewn fabric appliqué pieces. By placing these two material languages (two material bodies of knowledge) in conversation with one another, the work investigates concepts of surface, gendered space, fluidity, and overall softness. The aesthetic trajectory in the work is one of openness, growth, the expansion of organic systems, and morphology.
