In the Studio: Wendell Gladstone

June 25, 2023

Shulamit Nazarian is pleased to present the latest video in our artist documentary series, featuring Los Angeles-based artist Wendell Gladstone. 

 

Wendell Gladstone’s figurative compositions examine the indescribable psychic impact of human relationships. Drawing from elements of Jungian psychology and taking inspiration from quantum physics, the artist engages a variety of visual styles and painting methods to conjure extraordinary scenes free from the governing principles of reality. With a bright, often candy-colored palette layered with transparent mediums that subtly reveal the forms beneath, his paintings lure the viewer in to consider the boundless realm of the human psyche.

 

Recorded in the artist's studio, the short film details Gladstone's precise process in crafting sculptural paintings, as well as new works for Spooky Action, his upcoming solo exhibition with Shulamit Nazarian, opening July 15.
