PAUL DELLER : JAMBALAYA
October 2018
Paul Deller returns to Frameless Gallery with Jambalaya, an exhibition of collages spanning from the mid 1980’s to present. The title says it all. Having recently signed up to Instagram, and posting various works as the weeks went by, some historical, some current and works in progress, seeing his profile “wall” and the juxtaposed bodies of work resulted in the idea of showing these works together in the flesh. Having previously exhibited his Spectrals – Josef Albers-like collages and blocks that delve into fractals and spectrums and his Black Bubbleicious – a series of repeated black paper cuts and totems investigating positive and negative space, Jambalaya brings together under the same roof several important (ongoing) explorative series of the artist’s work, shown side by side for the very first time.
