NOVEMBER 8 - DECEMBER 21, 2012
Jonathan Novak Contemporary Art is proud to exhibit Acquainted with the Night,
a resonating series of big and bold works on paper by eighty-year-old
Howard Hodgkin, one of Britain's most celebrated twentieth century
artists.
Hodgkin has been creating prints for almost 60 years. His unique
ability to cultivate a print with the physicality of a painting is
unparalleled. With this series, Hodgkin has taken his lifetime of
printmaking to new heights; these heavily hand-painted sugar-lift
aquatints and carborundum reliefs are rich with surface texture and
emboldened with luscious paint.
The works comprising Acquainted with the Night are poised and
passionate. Energetic and emotive explosions of color upon paper dance
with abstract elements. The artist's expression exudes a confidence
reflecting technical expertise, creative brilliance and artistic wisdom
while embodying a playful and youthful spirit.
