Monroe Hodder will be showing at David Richard Gallery in New York, from September 8 through October 9. ‘The long season of the pandemic left the artist Monroe Hodder secluded in her basement to paint,” says the gallery’s press release. “Finally, she has returned to her spacious studio in the Bronx in search of more air and light for her work. Her new show of paintings and a handmade book is called ‘Rising Tides and Fragile Hope.’ Her abstract paintings consist of luminous slabs of oil paint that hover over a geometric ground made of bright-toned acrylics. She moves paint around her canvas with a palette knife, scraping and blending, swirling and edging. Her color mixtures in oil paint have been honed over the years into richly striated patterns and the rough swipe of her stroke gives an urgency to her mark-making. In her current work, Hodder has found a new balance between her surface paint slabs and their ground.”
