Mediated Iconography

7 Sep-3 Oct 2012

Overview

Richard Hamilton, Marcus Harvey, Anton Henning, Chris Martin and Mark Wright. Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to present Mediated Iconography, an exhibition that will explore the complex relationship and influence of Richard Hamilton’s work on the practice of a number of important contemporary painters. Mediated Iconography takes as its starting point the pictorial and psychological depth of Richard Hamilton's paintings, collages and prints, wherein he mediates or creates a conversation with found imagery through exploration of certain tropes in painting including the figure, still life, history and landscape. Including work by Bruce High Quality Foundation, Richard Hamilton, Marcus Harvey, Anton Henning, Chris Martin and Mark Wright, the exhibition will create a contemporary counterpoint to and associations with Richard Hamilton's diverse investigations.
