Shara Hughes
In Lieu of Flowers
May 3 – June 23, 2019
Opening Reception: Friday, May 3, 6 – 8pm
Rachel Uffner Gallery is pleased to present In Lieu of Flowers, Shara Hughes’ second solo exhibition with the gallery.
For this show, Hughes takes a more pointed approach to the imaginative landscapes that have defined her practice for the past four years. The artist, looking to reinvigorate and reimagine a more specific element of this painterly trope, has created a series of flower paintings. The resulting works are vibrant and visionary, informed by Hughes’ deep-seated knowledge of art history.
A wide range of brushstrokes and materials, including acrylic paint, oil paint, and dye, are utilized to create a sense of aggression and urgency within these works. The artist demonstrates confidence in her gesture, driven by intuition and abstract experimentation. The smaller paintings featured in the exhibition are the result of a much longer process. More time is spent with these pieces, sometimes months. Consideration for material, brushstrokes, and composition become crucial when working at this scale.
Playfulness is key to the artist’s process, allowing the subject matter to become a metaphorical playground. The flowers echo sultry figures, becoming humanlike in their displayed traits and evolutionary actions. For example, Naked Lady is loosely based off the Amaryllis belladonna flower, known for its striking beauty and uniquely leafless stem. However, the Amaryllis is stealthily toxic, all of its parts poisonous if ingested. The seductive tendrils of Hughes’ Naked Lady draws the viewer in close, as the venomous, strap-like leaves seem to melt off the canvas. My Natural Nyctinasty depicts a flower in nyctinastic movement, a nightly rhythm of a plant closing its petals in response to the onset of darkness. The bud takes shelter within itself, symbolically signaling that it is not to be disturbed.
Hughes’ radical and cerebral approach to painting imbues the works with a sense of freedom and a vitality hardly contained by the canvas. While marking a deviation for the artist, In Lieu of Flowers features works that are remarkably spirited and distinctly grandiose, broadening the artist’s prolific and expansive career.
In addition to the exhibition, Rachel Uffner Gallery is pleased to present a new monograph for the artist, in partnership with Galerie Eva Presenhuber. Shara Hughes: Landscapes marks the first in-depth survey of Hughes’ work and features a new essay by Mia Locks titled “Working Tension: On Shara Hughes’ Landscapes,” an interview between the artist and curator Ian Alteveer, and more than 120 full-color illustrations. The book will be distributed by D.A.P. and available at the gallery for purchase.
