The online presentation is comprised of Monroe Hodder’s recent paintings from 2020 including large works in the range of 72 x 44 inches, mid-sized works in the range of 40 x 30 inches and smaller works that measure 16 x 16 and 18 x 18 inches.
Hodder sees her paintings as a montage of many small paintings together. The geometric overlay and patchwork compositions are like separate individual paintings aggregated together in one large composition. She loves to work with oil paint, applying thick impasto mixtures of color either as stripes or small patches mixed wet on wet, or using a palette knife to pull and mix as the paint moves across the canvas.
