Nancy Margolis Gallery presents its upcoming solo exhibition for a new gallery artist, Delphine Hogarth Lafaye.

Delphine Hogarth Lafaye’s oeuvre of still lifes, portraits, and landscapes fluctuates provocatively between abstraction and figuration. Working on canvas, the artist chooses from an arsenal of media and techniques to build up each of her compositions: oil paint, acrylic paint, ink, black thread, and collage. She often incorporates nontraditional materials as well, for example, coffee stains, shoe brushes, cellar tape, bits of leather, cutouts from Japanese wallpaper, and a hot iron to stamp her canvas. Her instinct to blend classical painting conventions with contemporary, ordinary materials and textures defines the artist’s singular aesthetic and original point-of-view.

Delphine Hogarth Lafaye was born in France in 1976. She studied the History of Art at Bristol University in 1995, followed by an Arts Foundation Course in Paris from 1998 to 2000. She has had solo and group exhibitions in the UK, France, Italy, and New York City. Delphine now splits her time between London and Paris.
