‘At Hauser & Wirth Somerset, Angel Otero infuses paintings with a dreamy magical realism. [...] The result is a moving journey through time, through memories real or imagined, the ocean he was born from and remains attached to, the people who shaped him, and language. What it means to move and dream between Spanish and English.’—Nargess Banks for Wallpaper*

Featured in Wallpaper* magazine, writer and editor Nargess Banks delves into ’s first UK exhibition, ‘Agua Salada,’ in which the artist celebrates the significance of place.

On view until Sunday 18 October, Otero’s new body work, which includes paintings, a sculpture and film work, were completed during his artist residency in Somerset.
