On September 9, 2024 Lévy Gorvy Dayan presented Thomas Houseago: Night Sea Journey, a major exhibition that sees the artist pushing boundaries—material and psychological—as he sprawls intricate visions across three floors of the gallery’s Beaux-Arts townhouse.
Night Sea Journey marks Houseago’s first exhibition in New York City in ten years. It showcases new paintings and sculptures that realize the artist’s recent battles with trauma, from which he emerged with a greater understanding of his powers. The result is a raw odyssey from darkness to light that culminates in a symphonic room-spanning tapestry on the gallery’s skylit top floor, created en plein air in Malibu, like the rest of the exhibition.












British figurative sculptor Thomas Houseago is known for large-scale figures positioned in contrapposto stances, often combining two-dimensional elements to lend a delicate appearance to otherwise massive constructions. His work continues to evolve, with recent exhibitions highlighting new directions in his practice and expanding his international presence.
