Off the Grid

American artist Howardena Pindell opens a solo exhibition of paintings, sculpture and works on paper made between the 1960s and the present day. Spanning the Bermondsey galleries, this presentation follows her inaugural show at White Cube Hong Kong in November 2024, after she joined the gallery in May 2024. Focusing on the artist's exploration of dispelling racial and gender myths, this exhibition surveys Pindell's disassembly of the grid as a compositional device – a recurring motif across her groundbreaking practice. "I always say I have no idea what people feel when they see my paintings. They're going to see what they feel through their own cultural experience." —Howardena Pindell Howardena Pindell's profoundly personal and politically charged work delivers a dynamic materiality to the canons of painting – serving as much as a diaristic account of her own biography as a means to interrogate broader issues of social justice. With a practice spanning over five decades and encompassing a diverse range of mediums – including painting, collage, drawing and film – Pindell lends visceral form to a rigorous intellectual inquiry of the given subject.
