The End Really Is Here!

Galerie Loevenbruck is delighted to present the latest exhibition by Jim Shaw, a major figure on the contemporary American art scene, whose work brings a strong surrealist spirit to his keen observation of US popular and political culture. For many years, in his paintings, installations and famous ‘Dream Drawings,’ Shaw has been exploring the relationships between the dream world, conspiracy theories, mass culture and recent political history. His dark humour and sense of subversion transform familiar images – whether taken from advertising, comics or current events – into disconcerting critical visions. Conceived in collaboration with Didier Ottinger—curator of the Philip Guston exhibition currently showing at the Musée National Picasso-Paris, featuring that artist’s famous series of “Nixon Drawings”—this presentation highlights Shaw's obsession with the figure of Donald Trump. Éditions Loevenbruck are publishing a catalogue for the exhibition Jim Shaw. The End Really is Here!, which is available on the evening of the opening.
