JONATHAN VINER: Lives Of Leisure: Dorothy Circus London | Solo Exhibition

22 Nov - 19 Dec 2024
DCG London announces the highly anticipated return of Jonathan Viner, presenting a stunning new collection of fourteen paintings. Viner’s distinctive interior scenes, imbued with cinematic narratives and a unique color palette, are his unmistakable hallmark. His sublime oil paintings masterfully blend traditional techniques reminiscent of Vermeer, Hammershøi, Holsøe with the spirit of modernity. Viner’s enigmatic images oscillate between a seductive, calm, and seemingly reassuring "scenario" and a sense of tension, deliberately created through the absence of certain visual and auditory elements, as if events are unfolding just beyond the canvas. However, scattered details, placed like objects left casually at a crime scene, suggest the presence of something significant to be read between the lines. Viner invites us to look at the forgotten corners of our past and the domestic spaces of our present, as key to understanding our personalities. Through a sense of horror vacui, we reconstruct the puzzle of a lost moment that is fluttering in the wind like the pages of an untitled book.
