"Trying to juggle figuration and abstraction simultaneously." Dan Colen artist.

The American artist Dan Colen has just opened a new show. His Purgatory Paintings are a continuation of his pursuit of placing art between the worlds of abstraction and representation. Each canvas, seen from a distance, looks like cloudscapes. However, as one enters the close physical space of the canvas, the subject matter dissolves into a fog of formlessness and colour.

The exhibition at Massimo De Carlo Gallery in Milan marks Dan Colen's return to Italy after six years, and offers an insight into the way that we now experience nature and consciousness through hastily defined, synthetic filters.
