Henry Hudson : Pellegrino

28 Nov 2014-24 Jan 2015

Overview

TJ Boulting is delighted to invite you to Henry Hudson's third solo show with the gallery, Pellegrino, presenting plasticine works, wallpaper murals and a sculpture all conceived during a seven week residency at Villa Elia in the south of Italy, Puglia. Pellegrino, which translates as 'pilgrim' in Italian, refers to Hudson's journey from London to the villa, an excursion in the same vein as the painting retreats of early 20th Century artists who sought out the brighter, southern sunlight. The exhibition, however, takes the concept of pilgrimage to the modern day, exploring our almost religious attraction to contemporary icons and idols5
