Now on view Sadie Coles HQ, Back Home / I Am ... I Said at Said Coles HQ is on view from March 5.
"Following his recent exhibition at Tate Britain, Grace, Alvaro Barrington presents an exhibition in two chapters of new bodies of work at Sadie Coles HQ. This show marks the artist’s return to the exploration of traditional modernist painting – his primary medium of work. Back Home is composed of a series of paintings and works on paper, in which the artist depicts his impression of sunsets setting over the Caribbean Sea. Bringing together an array of art historical references, including J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851), Mark Rothko (1903-1970), Etel Adnan (1925-2021), Claude Monet (1840-1926), among others, these works come together in a simple installation along the perimeter of the gallery, which encourages slow looking and contemplation. The repetition of the sun setting over the sea creates a rhythm, which rhymes with the routine of everyday and finds beauty in the mundane experiences and the surrounding environment. As such, these paintings reward the act of slow and focused looking, revealing new layers, details and moments with time. "
