This event has ended.

James Cohan presents the exhibition It is too difficult a Grace, the gallery’s first solo exhibition of paintings by Philip Hanson. As a complement to the exhition, James Cohan will host a poetry reading on Thursday, March 10 at 6:30 PM, featuring poets Anselm Berrigan and John Yau.

It is too difficult a Grace presents a selection of new and recent paintings that exemplify Hanson’s intersection of text and image, and his complex layering of dense, richly colored patterns with excerpts from Romantic era poets. Originally associated with the Chicago Imagists, Hanson’s approach to painting possesses the Imagists’ desire to capture the visceral and emotional aspects of what it means to be human, yet through the earnestness and sincerity that live within the words of Emily Dickinson, William Blake, and William Shakespeare.
