Angel Otero introduces ‘Agua Salada’ in Somerset

Angel Otero makes his UK debut this spring, featuring a deeply personal body of work completed during an artist residency at our Somerset Gallery

Known for his physically immersive approach to paint as material, Otero transforms the medium itself—scraping, layering and peeling dried oil paint to create richly textured compositions that hover between abstraction and figuration. Moving his studio practice from Brooklyn NY and Puerto Rico temporarily to Somerset, the residency provided Otero with the opportunity to continue his exploration of memory, place and meaning in the context of a new environment.

The exhibition unfolds across the galleries, with outdoor sculpture extending into the inner cloister courtyard. Paintings range from monumental compositions, including Otero’s largest figurative painting to date, that envelop the viewer in a fully immersive sensory experience to intimate encounters with smaller studies and works on paper, rarely presented outside the studio.
