Jonathan Meuli: Approaches to Abstraction

Sat 19 January 2019 - Sun 17 March 2019

Wolfson College

Jonathan Meuli is a Glasgow-based painter, trained at the Ruskin School of Art at Oxford, from which he graduated in 1982. 
The exhibition at Wolfson is a selection of works spanning nearly four decades. Some of Meuli’s most important abstract studies in watercolour or gouache as well as a number of significant oil paintings are on show, many for the first time.
The goal of this exhibition is to trace the origins of Meuli’s profound interest in abstraction and the routes through which the artist has come to produce his current large, chromatically intense, abstract oil paintings.
Meuli’s wide-ranging interests in other art-forms, such as opera and dance, poetry and prose, are often evident in his paintings. 
For the past four years, he has developed large, often turbulent, oil paintings which have a metaphorical connection with scientific research. Other works have a meditative stillness and balance.
