Sprüth Magers

Lucy Dodd’s new paintings mobilise material, colour and shape to explore both personal and universal roots and ruptures. The two-part exhibition In Between Worlds reflects Dodd’s recent move from upstate New York to the Scottish countryside. It features paintings and found sculpture that examine the mythological and historical ties between the two places. Using unconventional pigments derived from nature and her immediate surroundings, Dodd traces the passage of time and an energetic shift that is echoed in the colours and spirit of the frenetic, at times large-scale, landscapes composed of painted spills, drops and stains. Working outdoors during the American autumn and later in the Scottish spring, the artist produced two cathartic groups of works that are a true display of place, time and setting. Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present the latter part of the cycle of works at the Berlin gallery. The solo show follows its counterpart, The End, staged at The Ranch, Montauk, from November 9 to December 20, 2024.
