We are pleased to invite you to the opening of ‘Lee Lozano’. This exhibition presents a significant body of early work by the pioneering New York-based artist. Created in 1962–1963, the paintings and drawings of this series use airplanes as a central image and can be considered as examples of the artist’s passionate exploration of creative energy in its purist form.
Lozano’s works from the early 1960s are stylistically distinct, admired for their furious physicality, unapologetic confidence and urgent energy. They exploit the boundaries between body and machine, eroticism and aggression, to powerful effect. A passionate and shrewd observer of urban culture, Lozano created work in response to the constraints imposed by systems constituted via dynamics of gender, power, money, politics, and institutions such as marriage and maternity.
Tickets include entry to both of our autumn exhibitions: ‘Nicole Eisenman. Where I Was, It Shall Be’ and ‘Lee Lozano’. Oudolf Field will remain open until 8 pm for visitors to enjoy and Roth Bar & Grill will be open for drinks. To make a reservation for the restaurant visit: www.rothbarandgrill.co.uk
This is a free event, all welcome. Tickets must be booked in advance.
