Opening reception: ‘Mark Bradford. Cerberus’

  • Tue 1 October 2019

Join us for the opening of ‘Cerberus’, Mark Bradford’s first exhibition at Hauser & Wirth’s London galleries. The exhibition of new work sees Bradford return to ancient mythology, a consistent source of inspiration for the artist. Specifically, he now engages the many headed dog guarding the entryway to Hades, Cerberus. It is a particularly resonant metaphor for Bradford, who has always been fascinated by interstitial spaces and figures. In fact, of the relationship between his art and his community engagement, Bradford has often declared his imperative to have one foot firmly planted in each. ‘Cerberus’ is an exhibition dedicated to places difficult and in-between, where conflicts arise, but also where the hope of resolution is to be found.
