Author: Hodges, Reggie Burrows
Over several months spent travelling through Europe, American painter Reggie Burrows Hodges created an expansive body of work that engages with both written and unwritten histories, as well as the everyday moments that so often evade representation. This porosity echoes the artist’s approach to history, equal parts generous and critical. Here, Hodges advances a new kind of chiaroscuro, capturing the light cast by memory into darkness.Finely wrought allusions to Western art history and architecture emerge in works that pivot on quiet or liminal moments: a certain city’s quality of light, a recollection of smoke curling from a chimney, the flash of white as rowboat oars splinter the calm of a river, the woven café chairs that mediate between street and establishment. Environments – both exterior and interior – leak through and stain the contours of his figures.
