Henry Jabbour

This summer Pontone Gallery mounts an exhibition of painters who are all obsessed with the materiality of their medium, which they each manipulate with a distinct and intense singularity.

Malcolm Liepke’s paintings assert his skilful and graphic iterations of human flesh in all its forensic intimacy. His gestural and fluent handling emphasises the delicate, bruised tones of his male and female models, framed by a bright and acidic variety of rich colour.

Timothy Spall elicits a profound spiritual response with a dark and brooding landscape that contains a discrete, but explicit, description of the crucifixion at Golgotha. Misty veils of charcoal greys are penetrated by shafts of sulphurous sunlight to reveal a tragic scene, glimpsed from afar but unmistakable.

Richard Harrison deploys vigorous and expressive passages of highly worked paint. Clots, clumps, streaks and sticky accretions are distressed and agitated by the artist’s urgent hand, eager to fashion an image of primal landscape from a chaos of turbid material.

Henry Jabbour explores a rich and sumptuous palette of shimmering primary hues. Glistening oil paint is freely applied in thick, creamy skeins and slicks against saturated, liquid glazes. Vestigial romantic figures hover in this world of subtle, painterly abstraction.

To celebrate the opening of our new London gallery on Newman Street, Pontone Gallery is delighted to present a curated exhibition of three distinguished artists. Featuring paintings by Henry Jabbour and Matteo Massagrande and photographs by Lee Jeonglok, the Pontone Gallery Opening Exhibition showcases a selection of works that underscore the combined influences of light, colour and the passage of time on the human psyche.

This is an exhibition of six painters who explore and exploit process. Common to all is an obsessive interest in the materiality of paint and the technique of painting. Each presents the viewer with a rich and seductive surface. Each articulates their particular vision.

International artist, Henry Jabbour was born in Beirut and educated at the New York Academy of Art. He graduated in 2015 with a master's degree in fine art and printmaking. Relatively new to the art world, his paintings display a vivid use of colour and exuberant execution. He paints the figure. His loosely-indicated, schematic images are integrated into a highly worked and abstracted paint surface, scattered with incidental markings and subtle gestures.
