Lehmann + Silva is pleased to present "Clareira [Clearing]”, the second solo exhibition by Daniel Lergon (1978, Bonn, Germany), at the gallery.

In Daniel Lergon's painting practice, each particular material used and the interaction of light and surface, as well as questions of color and movement, have always been central. (...)

The new paintings are, in many ways, a continuation of his investigation and principles while being quite different and introducing new elements. Unlike previous exhibitions, different colors can now be seen side by side but then, again, in all the new works the background plays a major role. This time it does not glow, on the contrary, Lergon deliberately uses a material that contrasts with the neon yellow of before, namely absorbing earth colors, such as sienna, umber or slate. (...)

In the middle of the dark forest, only the clearing reveals its colors.
