Howard Hodgkin
Road to Rio
2016
A vibrant and sensuous composition of bold, overlapping forms and colours, characteristic of Hodgkin's deeply emotive abstract style. Rich sweeps of warm yellows, greens, and blues evoke the heat and rhythm of Brazil, conjuring atmosphere and memory rather than literal landscape. This late screenprint demonstrates Hodgkin's masterful use of colour as feeling, transforming the printed medium into something as immediate and expressive as paint.
