Hannah van Bart: Inner Homeland
10 October - 16 November 2024
Marianne Boesky Gallery
509 West 24th Street
Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Inner Homeland, an exhibition of new work by Dutch painter Hannah van Bart (b. 1963, the Netherlands). For her seventh solo exhibition with Marianne Boesky Gallery, van Bart derives inspiration from a group of pencil drawings she made in the early 1980s as a young artist living in the small Dutch village where she grew up, near Utrecht. Made more than 40 years ago, the original drawings are unmistakably van Bart's, though the new paintings are reimagined through the evolved lens of van Bart's developed painting practice.
Alongside this series of paintings, Inner Homeland also features van Bart’s newest portraits and still lifes. In these portraits, recurring characters from across the artist’s oeuvre appear anew, sipping cups of tea or resting their cheeks on gently closed fists. In her still lifes, drawing inspiration from a host of disparate sources, van Bart articulates the physical and emotional contours of her forms with remarkable psychological depth, evoking at once a sense of longing and unease, of inescapable familiarity and acute uncertainty.

Inner Homeland will be on view alongside Jammie Holmes: Morning Thoughts in Marianne Boesky Gallery’s adjacent Chelsea space at 507 West 24th Street. (press kit: www.molly.nyc/morningthoughts).
