Hurvin Anderson "Subtitles"
Michael Werner Gallery
This event has ended.
Michael Werner Gallery presents "Subtitles," an exhibition of new works by London-based artist Hurvin Anderson.
Hurvin Anderson's paintings depict landscapes where memory and history converge. He paints places he knows, working from drawings, photographs and his own recollections to re-imagine complex spaces emblematic of individual and cultural significance. Whereas previous bodies of work explored the landscape as a site of conflicting cultural and political viewpoints, the artist's latest paintings move deeper into explorations of abstraction and the expressive possibilities of paint. His lush surfaces and inventive palette form intricately layered planes of depth and flatness; objects continually dissolve and re-emerge, creating elusive, ambiguous spaces within each picture. Hurvin Anderson's paintings are a rich and complex amalgam of sensory perceptions that move beyond mere description.
