Thomas Lerooy Field Guide is an important monographic publication that brings together key works by the Belgian artist from 2006 until today. Rather than being a classic catalogue raisonné, the book is a field guide into the artist’s practice, that establishes formal and conceptual links between works from different periods and in different media.

Hudson’s inclusive and compelling text is sensitive to issues such as queer narratives, race, activism, and climate and demonstrates the continued relevance of painting today.Bringing together more than 250 eminent artists from around the world, such as Cecily Brown, Julie Mehretu, Theaster Gates, Kara Walker, Kehinde Wiley, Takashi Murakami, and Zhang Xiaogang, this is an essential volume for art history enthusiasts, students, critics, and practitioners interested in discovering how painting is approached, reimagined, and challenged by today’s artists.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56290456207733,"sku":"9780500294635","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780500294635_cc377626-7174-406c-87f8-b5e0795e2d2c.jpg?v=1786014079"},{"product_id":"9781644230282","title":"I Carry My Landscapes Around With Me","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eI carry my landscapes around with me\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on American abstract artist Joan Mitchell’s large-scale multipanel works from the 1960s through the 1990s. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMitchell’s exploration of the possibilities afforded by combining two to five large canvases allowed her to simultaneously create continuity and rupture, while opening up a panoramic expanse referencing landscapes or the memory of landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eMitchell established a singular approach to abstraction over the course of her career. Her inventive reinterpretation of the traditional figure-ground relationship and synesthetic use of color set her apart from her peers, resulting in intuitively constructed and emotionally charged compositions that alternately evoke individuals, observations, places, and points in time. Art critic John Yau lauded her paintings as “one of the towering achievements of the postwar period.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003ePublished on the occasion of the eponymous exhibition at David Zwirner New York in 2019, this book offers a unique opportunity to explore the range of scale and formal experimentation of this innovative area of Mitchell’s extensive body of work. It not only features reproductions of each painting in this selection as a whole, but also numerous details that allow an intimate understanding of the surface texture and brushwork. In the complementing essays, Suzanne Hudson examines boundaries, borders, and edges in Mitchell’s multipanel paintings, beginning with her first work of this kind, \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e (1956), considering them as both physical and conceptual objects; Robert Slifkin discusses the dynamics of repetition and energy in the artist’s paintings, in relation to works by Monet and Willem de Kooning, among others.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56305151148405,"sku":"9781644230282","price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781644230282_77fa1905-618c-4e60-8571-8a3f855c6298.jpg?v=1786024345"},{"product_id":"9780992655624","title":"David Korty: Blue Shelves","description":"This book documents an extensive series of paintings produced from 2013–2015. In over forty canvases, Korty presents objects arrayed on tiered ledges or within boxed compartments, conveyed in dilute monochrome ink against fields of midnight-blue pigment.Each painting involves a rhythmic interplay of line, shape and colour. In common with his wider practice, Korty distances the objects from their sources (which are often his own drawings), abstracting the imagery into Cubist-style montages of segmented, overlapping and interlocking shapes.Blue Shelves marks an ambitious new phase in Korty’s work, throughout which his sensitivity to colour and contour has combined with an increasingly formalist interest in surface, outline and the interplay of two-dimensional and three-dimensional space.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312013128053,"sku":"9780992655624","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780992655624_67ee27b0-c978-458f-8320-2a37e50f11ae.jpg?v=1786016291"}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-suzanne-hudson.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
