Howard Hodgkin (1932-2017)
One of England’s most celebrated contemporary painters Hodgkin was deeply attuned to the interplay of gesture, colour, and ground. His brushstrokes, set against wooden supports, often continue beyond the picture plane and onto the frame, breaking from traditional confines. Embracing time as a compositional element, his work is testament to his immersion in the intangibility of thoughts, feelings, and fleeting private moments.
Starting in the 1950s, Hodgkin maintained a parallel printmaking practice, translating his visual language into works on paper and exploring the interactions of colour and space on a grander scale.
