One Down; One Down; and One Down
Three duplicate lithographs in vibrant colours, each sheet enhanced with gestural hand-applied gouache, showcase Hodgkin's signature approach of layering rich, emotive marks that blur the boundaries between abstraction and personal memory. The repeated tripartite format invites the viewer to contemplate subtle variations across the works, as the hand-colouring introduces unique, spontaneous touches to each otherwise identical printed composition. Warm, saturated hues pool and sweep across the Velin Arches mould-made paper, reflecting Hodgkin's lifelong preoccupation with capturing fleeting sensations and emotional states through bold, sensuous colour.
