FLORENCE HUTCHINGS : THE PLACE I CALL HOME

6 Aug-5 Sep 2020

Overview

Union Gallery is pleased to present Florence Hutchings’ The place I call home, across both our spaces, curated by William Gustafsson. Hutchings’ surrounds herself with objects, drawings, plants, images and postcards that inspire her to create. Often, she relentlessly draws in her home, expanding her practice from the studio, bringing her work into the domestic sphere. This has been evermore been present during the recent lockdown, where Hutchings’ was forced to adopt her own domesticity as her primary source of influence. The sink in the bathroom, the stand in the sitting room, the plants, pots, and vases which make up her home. Hutchings’ work is not just a documentation of the everyday. She uses a diverse vibrant palette and varied modes of painting to create a dialogue between the actual and the abstracted, regenerated version of the mundane she produces.
