Viewing Gary Simmons This Must Be the Place

Hurry over to Hauser & Wirth’s Savile Row gallery to witness Gary Simmons’ solo exhibition ‘This Must Be the Place’. Renowned as a luminary of the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gary Simmons mesmerises audiences with his mesmerising creations, delving into the intricate tapestry of race, class, and societal clichés. Enter his captivating realm of multi-layered paintings, where star motifs twinkle with multifaceted meanings. These celestial symbols sparkle with hope, dreams, and the bittersweet taste of loss.

Simmons, the maestro of gestural techniques, breathes life into his artwork, allowing the motifs to simultaneously emerge and vanish, like fleeting shooting stars in a moonlit sky. In this captivating dance of paint and sculpture, Simmons invites us to witness the extraordinary fusion of past and present, where stories are told and retold, leaving an indelible trace in our collective consciousness. Immerse yourself in this celestial experience this weekend.
