Medley Tour London
19 April - 26 May 2012
London
Berlin-based artist Andy Hope 1930 has developed a far-reaching and diverse iconography combining the worlds of comic books, science fiction and mythology with history, pop culture and literature. For his exhibition at Hauser & Wirth, 'Medley Tour London by Andy Hope 1930', Hope will present the 'X-Medleys': a new series of paintings that weaves together elements from his unique pictorial language. Displayed alongside new and re-invented installations, this body of work represents a significant progression in Hope's practice, which develops with each stop on the artist's 'Medley Tour'. A 'medley' is commonly defined as a piece of music consisting of several harmonically adjusted melodies taken from a musician's entire repertoire. Likewise for the 'X-Medleys', Hope re-visits different iconographic elements which have played a major role in his oeuvre, as well as works from modernism and contemporary art.
