New York... Beginning 14 January 2015, Hauser & Wirth will present 'More paintings about poets and food', the gallery's first New York exhibition devoted to internationally admired Belgrade-born, London-based artist Djordje Ozbolt.

Collapsing the narratives of his paintings and sculptures into solitary images, Ozbolt creates mysterious and often macabre imagery that persistently conflates traditional European genres – of portraiture, still life, landscape, and history painting – with motifs sourced from Christianity, African and Asian art, and cultural stereotypes, all overlaid with the artist's signature sharp wit.
