CLIVE HODGSON : STILL LIFE

24 May-13 Jul 2019

Arcade
London SE15 4BW

Overview

In this series of previously un-exhibited works, started in 2006 and ongoing, an intimate portrait of a more private domain is exposed. This might seem at odds with his more familiar 'abstract' works, but both are strongly grounded in Hodgson’s curiosity about Painting and what it can explore. The genre of still-life is used here as a lens through which other and different qualities of painting can be viewed, exposed and evaluated. It is in a way a sort of diary of attempts or encounters within a limited field. Coffee time cups, studio debris, books, crumpled paper, and tools, etc, reconfigure in changing arrangements as if they are restless.
