Gagosian to Present Harold Ancart’s Debut Exhibition with the Gallery in New York
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Gagosian is pleased to announce Paintings, an exhibition of new work by #haroldancart in #newyork. This exhibition follows the gallery's July 2022 announcement of his representation.
In his atmospheric canvases, Ancart uses color and texture to blur the boundaries between observed and imagined realities. Pairing figuration with vibrant abstract passages, the artist explores natural landscapes and built environments, where he discovers moments of unexpected poetry. Though born and educated in Belgium, Ancart maintains a practice rooted in the influence of American abstract painters, including Richard Diebenkorn, Helen Frankenthaler, and Clyfford Still.
The works in Ancart's Gagosian debut suggest a place rooted in a longing for escape and use an arboreal motif to explore nuances of color and shape. Having previously depicted other elemental forms such as clouds, fires, and icebergs, the artist has stated that outward subject matter serves primarily as an "alibi" for painterly experimentation. Two large landscape canvases are also included. One depicts the sea at night and immerses the viewer in a composition featuring a large, truncated moon. The other, also a seascape, is bordered by a large field of red and conveys the impression of a prospecting gaze through a telescope.
The #paintings on view in #newyork further extend Ancart's practice, translating their maker's experience of walking without a destination in mind into a meditation on the very idea of location.
Ancart employs the medium of oil stick to orchestrate vigorous chromatic relationships, using a patchwork of color to infuse his canvases with painterly naturalism, and further enlivens the works' surfaces through the interpolation of smudges, scrapes, and other textural flourishes.
