(Via Karma) Reggie Burrows Hodges (b. 1965, Compton, California) explores storytelling and visual metaphor through paintings that engage with questions of identity, community, truth, and memory. Starting from a black ground, he develops the scene around his figures with painterly, foggy brushwork, playing with how perception is affected when the descriptive focus is placed not on human agents but on their surroundings. Figures materialize in recessive space, stripped of physical identifiers; bodies are described by their painted context. These formal decisions speak to Hodges’s embrace of tenuous ambiguities and his close observation of the relationship between humans and their environment. He lives in the Bay Area.
