Howard Hodgkin

Sunset - India

A vibrant tapestry by Howard Hodgkin, *Sunset - India* captures the luminous, atmospheric warmth of an Indian dusk through richly saturated hues and bold, gestural forms rendered in wool pile. Characteristic of Hodgkin's emotive approach, the work translates his painterly language into the tactile medium of tapestry, where layers of colour evoke memory, sensation, and the fleeting intensity of light. The dense, textured surface breathes life into the composition, blurring the boundaries between abstraction and felt experience.
