Alex Katz’s landscape paintings exemplify his life-long quest to capture the present tense in paint. Defined by temporal qualities of light, times of the day and the change of seasons, his paintings make us reflect on the convergence of perception and awareness, on the relationship between art and nature, and on the notion of the present moment. Depicting a scene that mirrors itself in the lower part of the canvas, Reflection (2020) uses a formal device that departs from his traditional ‘environmental’ landscapes and reinvents the genre.
