Overview

Mark Hadjipateras, Homeward presents the richly varied, fifty-year long career of an international artist who has a deep understanding of our common roots in nature and the universal human need for belonging. His work explores nature as our shared ""home"" in a transhistorical exploration of prehistoric, modern, and futuristic habitats and their inhabitants. Mark Hadjipateras revisits major 20th century movements such as surrealism, modernism, minimalism, and pop art, honoring them through his own distinct style to produce new, thought-provoking interpretations. Rendered in a remarkable range of media such as paintings, sculptures, assemblages, and site-specific installations, his forms harmoniously blend opposite qualities: movement with static form, weightlessness with volume, abstraction with figuration.
