Warmest welcome to the preview of Devon DeJardin's solo exhibition at the lovingly-restored Hospitalet.
Devon DeJardin (b. 1993) is a self-taught, multimedia artist from Portland, Oregon currently working out of Los Angeles. DeJardin’s new paintings are the culmination of five years of his exploration into what the artist terms secular ‘guardians’, who appear as central figures in his compositions. Comprised of geometric shapes assembled into anthropomorphic forms, the guardians have a distinctly modernist feel in their tenuous balance between figure and abstraction: twentieth century artists from diverse contexts including Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, and Yves Tanguy come to mind as significant inspiration. As always, his paintings are notable for their meticulous rendering. His figures are so sculptural that they almost seem to emerge from the wall.
DeJardin’s work belongs to the collection of Space K Museum, Seoul, and The Burger Collection, Hong Kong. DeJardin was part of the Carl Kostyál Residency in Milan in April 2024. This is his first solo exhibition with Carl Kostyál.

About
Carl Kostyál opened his eponymous gallery at 12a Savile Row in Mayfair, London in 2010 after a decade of private dealing and advising. He launched his first Stockholm space, Isbrytaren, at Igeldammsgatan 20 in 2013 and in 2016 moved to the former German Embassy at Artellerigatan. In May 2021 the gallery opened a new exhibition space, Hospitalet, in the 18th century mental asylum formerly known as Danvikens Hospital, in collaboration with Gullringsbo Konstsamling.
In addition to the London and Stockholm programme, Kostyál commissions artist projects at his home in Milan.
The gallery stages offsite exhibitions and partakes in fairs worldwide, as well as runs invitational artist residency programmes at Masseria Fontana di Vite in Matera, Mohilef Studios in Los Angeles, Blidö in Sweden and San Gallo in Milan. Each summer, the gallery hosts the Draw Jam in the south of Italy, with 20-35 international artists gathering together to make works on paper, which are sold to raise money for charitable causes.
