Neale Howells : Crash the World

11 Jun-28 Jul 2012

Overview

Marc de Puechredon, in association with John Martin Gallery and Edward Cutler Gallery, presents the first large scale solo exhibition of Welsh artist Neale Howells's work in Switzerland. The new work, which will be presented at the inauguration of Marc de Puechredon's new Basel gallery at St. Johannsvorstadt 78, will run throughout June and July, opening at the start of ArtBasel week. Howell's paintings absorb the seemingly relentless stream of information which crowd our daily lives sourced from television, radio, the internet and print media. His obsessive, time-consuming process of painting is coupled with a desire to overwhelm and give the viewer a near-cinematic experience through scale, achieved in such monumental works as The Fat Cat Family Funday which spans nearly five metres in length.
