15 Februar—11 Mai 2025
Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas, TX, USA
A Room Hung With Thoughts focuses on the vitality and diversity of contemporary British painting, while foregrounding its practitioners’ ability to speak to both the history of their medium and to a broad spectrum of contemporary concerns.
The title of the exhibition echoes an observation attributed to the seminal eighteenth-century British painter and theorist Sir Joshua Reynolds, that “a room hung with pictures is a room hung with thoughts”. Unpack these words, and what emerges is an insistence that making (and viewing) images is an activity that engages not only the eye, but also the mind. They remind us that a painting is set of ideas, given visual form.
