Juan Uslé and Silvia Bächli Present New York Exhibitions Showcasing European Abstraction
In New York, both Juan Uslé from Spain and Swiss artist Silvia Bächli are showcasing their work in simultaneous exhibitions. Uslé's display at Cheim & Read is significant as it's his first showing in New York since 2002, while Bächli's exhibition at Peter Freeman, Inc. marks her return to the city since 1998. Now both in their early fifties, they have notable careers in museums. Uslé has recently exhibited in cities like Málaga and Madrid, and Bächli had a major show at the Pompidou Center in Paris last year. Uslé’s art features colorful pleated bands, and Bächli’s paper pieces mix figurative elements with abstractions, emphasizing the vibrant world of abstract painting.
