Gauguin and the Contemporary Landscape

Small gem of an exhibition at Ordovas bringing together a Gauguin landscapes with contemporary works.

The Gauguin was a lovely early work of a beautifully framed farmyard which was then shown with two works by Peter Doig and two by Mamma Andersson. It was interesting to not only look at the contrast in style but also the different approaches from different countries. Not to be cliched but the large Doig was big and bold like the American landscape whereas the Swedish Andersson’s work had a Scandi melancholy to it

This gallery specialise in small shows that present you with an idea and leave you to contemplate it.
