Julie Mehretu @ White Cube Mason's Yard

An exhibition of new work by Julie Mehretu featuring large-scale paintings and etchings.  The exhibition highlights Mehretu’s use of gestural abstraction as a conduit for evocative and charged emotion and intellectual enquiry.
Glenn Ligon has described the artist’s work as “traversed by history […] grounded in urgent political and social questions while simultaneously troubling the limits of abstract painting.”  In these new paintings, which continue from the ‘Conjured Parts’ series begun in 2015, Mehretu employs a broad spectrum palette to create powerful, animated, complex canvases.
