Timothy Taylor Gallery is proud to announce an exhibition of new paintings by the renowned American artist, Alex Katz.

Now in his eighty-second year, Alex Katz is one of the most significant artists of his generation. His distinctive portraits and landscapes are noted for their flat surfaces, even light, and economy of line. Katzʼs practice has long been concerned with seeing rather than representation, and it is an objective and engaged eye that elicits his cool and restrained style.

Katz has always been that intriguing thing: a painter’s painter. His influence is widely felt and many of today’s most successful contemporary artists from Peter Doig to Elizabeth Peyton acknowledge their debt to him.

Alex Katz has been the subject of over 200 solo exhibitions and been included in nearly 500 group shows internationally since 1951. Katz has been the recipient of numerous awards and his work is held in over 100 public collections worldwide.

Timothy Taylor Gallery is delighted to announce the first in a new series of exhibitions at the gallery under the title The Viewing Room. Timothy Taylor Gallery, in association with Domo Baal, will be showcasing a suite of paintings by Christopher Hanlon, a recent graduate of the Royal College of Art, London.

Hanlon’s hermetic and tonally low-key paintings appear at first to be fragments of a psychologically charged drama. Typically presented in small installations, Hanlon’s apparently heterogeneous arrangements of abstract and figurative paintings slowly combine to convey feelings of disenchantment and longing, without recourse to a unifying or underlying narrative.
