Georgii Uvs: Abstract Intuitionism – 13th – 17th October

To coincide with one of the world’s most influential and exciting celebrations of contemporary art – London’s Frieze week – leading curator Ellen Nash is proud to present a new exhibition by cutting-edge artist Georgii Uvs at one of London’s coolest record venues in Soho, The Vinyl Factory. Abstract Intuitionism follows on from the artist’s hugely successful UK debut show at Saatchi Gallery and retrospective at Gallery 8 in 2019 and explores a newly founded concept that has never been used or embraced before in the art world.

Uvs’ is led by the freedom of colours and uses a unique ‘live’ painting technique by pouring paint onto un-stretched canvases laid horizontally on the studio floor. He relies on the uses of different densities of paint and pigments which he manipulates in different ways without ever touching the surface of the painting. He has developed this technique over four decades, with each work taking 3-4 years to dry. Every piece therefore is unique which, in this age of mass production and consumption, is refreshing and, in its own way, quite powerful.

Georgii Uvs: Abstract Expressionism opens at The Vinyl Factory from 13th – 17th October 2021 during London’s Frieze week.
