New York - Fou Gallery is pleased to announce Michael Eade’s solo exhibition, After the Burn, which will take place from Mar. 26, 2022, to Jun. 5, 2022. Eade’s third exhibition with Fou Gallery features his fifteen new works from 2020 to 2022. Landscape is a tool for Eade to convey complex emotions. The pandemic and geopolitical conflicts, forces of death and destruction, led Eade to create landscape paintings that reflect his thoughts on life, death, and the governing laws behind.
