Howard Hodgkin


Howard Hodgkin is a British painter and printmaker and his style is very much considered as abstract. His paintings often evoke memories of his encounters with friends or a place he has visited. His pieces are much smaller compared to Rothko but they often take a few years to be completed as more layers are added.


Again colour was my inspiration for looking at Hodgkin, it is more random to Rothko and there is a looser style which i think is more fittting with my project of lights. I like how the painting continues onto the frame so there isnt a border but an extension to the piece.
