Gareth Cadwallader’s (b. 1979) paintings are at once both dreamlike – almost lysergic – and rigorously formal, almost completely diffusing the limits of figuration and abstraction. His scenes are familiar, yet exist outside of specific space and time, held at a point of electric tension by rigorous consideration. Cadwallader studied at the Royal College of Art and Slade School of Fine Art, London, and Hunter College, New York. He held his first solo show at Josh Lilley in January 2019, and has recently shown at the Hayward Gallery, London and The London Open at the Whitechapel Gallery, London.
