Peres Projects

About the Gallery
Founded by Javier Peres in 2002, Peres Projects is a contemporary art gallery promoting contemporary international artists to a global audience. The gallery represents and supports a diverse group of artists throughout their careers, who often demonstrate inter-disciplinary, and experimental practices. The program focuses on nurturing ambitious projects by the represented artists, in dialogue with leading institutions and scholars, with the goal of expanding their presence internationally. Since the gallery’s inception, it has operated project spaces and presented important exhibitions of contemporary art internationally. Currently it has locations in Berlin, Seoul and Milan.

About the presentation
Peres Projects presents works by Anton Munar at Independent following the artist’s recent debut solo exhibition with the gallery in Berlin. Thoughtful about the physicality of his paintings, Munar plays with materials encompassing oil, distemper, gouache, ink, charcoal, chalk, and pastel on canvas, linen, or wood, which he often repurposes from found items of furniture. Through these dense surfaces and marks, he builds up fragmented narratives where interior and exterior intertwine and where phantasmagoric visions infiltrate the physical world.
