Gregory Hodge
Porter, 2018
NSW, AUSTRALIA
acrylic on canvas
122.2 × 91.5 cm
Porter captures a dynamic interplay between abstraction and figuration. Through layered acrylic brushwork, Hodge constructs a figure that is at once grounded and elusive, composed of shifting shapes and bold contrasts.
The painting balances energy and stillness, inviting viewers to engage with the tension between presence and absence. Its rich textures and layered surfaces reveal the artist’s thoughtful exploration of form, movement, and identity.
With restrained colours and confident strokes, Porter stands as a compelling portrait that navigates complexity with a quiet intensity - an invitation to pause and reflect on the spaces between clarity and ambiguity.
Mime, 2017
NSW, AUSTRALIA
acrylic on canvas
198 × 152.4 cm
In Mime, Gregory Hodge explores the tension between presence and silence. The large-scale canvas commands attention with bold strokes and a restrained palette, conjuring the quiet performance of a mime - an actor without words, communicating through gesture and stillness.
Hodge’s use of acrylic captures both the energy and restraint of the subject, the brushwork layering depth beneath the apparent simplicity. The figure seems caught between movement and pause, evoking a moment suspended in time.
The work invites viewers into a contemplative space, where expression unfolds quietly, and meaning emerges in the interplay between surface and shadow.
