About the Presentation
David Nolan Gallery and Marc Selwyn Fine Art will present work by Rodolfo Abularach in a solo presentation at Independent 20th Century. Born in Guatemala, Rodolfo Abularach (1933–2020) is one of Latin America’s most distinguished artists, renowned for creating a deeply spiritual and psychological visual language centered on the eye as a portal to the soul. Over a career spanning more than six decades, he explored themes of perception, mystery, and the natural world through a remarkable range of styles, from hyperrealism to abstraction. This presentation brings together works from the 1950s through the late 1980s, including oil paintings and ink-on-paper drawings that reveal the breadth of Abularach’s artistic vision. Surreal imagery permeates the exhibition, from meticulously rendered eyes to more abstract forms that evoke eclipses, volcanoes, and cosmic phenomena. At a moment when questions of perception, consciousness, and humanity’s relationship to larger natural and celestial forces feel especially relevant, Abularach’s work offers a strikingly contemporary perspective, underscoring the enduring power of his singular artistic vision.

About the Gallery
Marc Selwyn Fine Art has a diverse program which includes estates and established artists as well as mid career and emerging talent. The gallery takes an interdisciplinary approach and an international perspective, exhibiting artists from the United States and Europe working in photography, ceramics, installation, painting, and other media. The gallery has exhibited and represents important 20th Century photographers who are pioneers in their medium, including William Christenberry, Emmet Gowin, Richard Misrach and William Wegman. Many of the gallery's more established artists working in painting, drawing and sculpture such as Mel Bochner, Barry Le Va, Robert Overby, Allen Ruppersberg, and Michelle Stuart are characterized by a minimal or conceptual aesthetic, while exhibitions of younger artists have been more varied and experimental. The gallery also has an active presence on the secondary market and often exhibits a selection of modern masters with an emphasis on works on paper, by such artists as Sol Lewitt, Agnes Martin and Robert Mangold. In February 2014, Marc Selwyn Fine Art relocated to a newly renovated space in Beverly Hills.
