Zusammenfassung:Featuring large-scale paintings and etchings, the exhibition highlights Mehretu's use of gestural abstraction as a conduit for evocative and charged emotion and intellectual enquiry. Glenn Ligon has described the artist's work as 'traversed by history [...] grounded in urgent political and social questions while simultaneously troubling the limits of abstract painting.' In these new paintings Mehretu employs a broad spectrum palette to create powerful, animated, complex canvases. Marking a continued departure from her earlier work which focused on a layered language of mapping and architectural detail, these paintings take the immediacy of a news photograph as their starting point. Exhibition: White Cube Gallery Mason's Yard, London, UK (21.09.-03.11.2018)
