Howard Hodgkin: From Memory

May 05, 2016 - Jun 18, 2016

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to present 鈥淔rom Memory,鈥 recent paintings by Howard Hodgkin.

With sweeping lines of vibrant color, these works convey fleeting private moments and intense recollections. Paintings such as Morning (2015鈥16) and Dirty Window (2014鈥15) turn memories of domestic moments into experiences of pure color; while Love Song (2015) and Blues for Mrs. Chatterjee (2015) avow how words fall short of ever truly being able to describe sensations and phenomena. Completed between 2014 and 2016, Hodgkin's paintings create pockets of time and silence, demonstrating afresh the expressiveness, the mystery, and the seeming simplicity of his art.

With a deep and vivid palette and dynamic interchanges of light and dark, these paintings鈥攁lways executed in oil on wooden panels鈥攃ollapse the usual binary distinctions between abstraction and representation, narrative and pure sensation, past and present. Hodgkin's images are intimate, thoughtful, and ultimately indescribable, yet they suggest great arcs of time and thought.
