Check out more early press coverage for our upcoming Leon Kossoff exhibition in the current issue of ArtScene. Here’s an excerpt of the text by Scarlet Cheng:
“In Kossoff’s palette, London is a somewhat gray, even gloom-ridden, city with reddish tones in the brickwork and bits of blue breaking through. But this monochromatic effect is not dull, his strokes are insistent and energetic, and there’s a sense of bustle and movement in this old metropolis, seen through the haze of memory mixed with mystery.”
Leon Kossoff: London Landscapes opens at L.A. Louver next Thursday, January 23, with an opening reception from 6-8pm.
