Jos茅 Lerma: Madriyal
Almine Rech Monaco is pleased to present 'MADRIYAL' Jos茅 Lerma's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from October 2, 2025 to January 16, 2026.
What do we see in Jos茅 Lerma鈥檚 paintings? A portrait or a landscape, a human figure or a heap of matter? Painting or sculpture? Abstraction or figuration? The artist delights in subverting our expectations, placing us in a field of tension where nothing is ever fully identifiable.
The nine works presented in the gallery are at once sculptural objects and 鈥減rocess abstractions鈥� that take the form of a face. Each canvas oscillates between delicacy and excess: refined pastel colors, elegant female silhouettes, but also exuberant masses of paint, overflowing, almost aggressive. Jos茅 Lerma embraces this resistance, the art of 鈥渄oing things wrong鈥� as a method of inquiry. 鈥� Margaux Knight, independent curator
