Press Release

Filling the museum’s initial seven galleries and presenting over twenty works from the past two decades, Thomas Houseago: First Light marks the first single-artist survey exhibition to take place at the Rubell Museum and will occupy a suite of galleries newly dedicated for this purpose. From eight plaster figures commissioned by the Rubells for the 2006 Red Eye exhibition, to large-scale, collaged paintings created this Fall, the exhibition will elucidate Houseago’s range and psychological intensity across mediums as diverse as wood, bronze, paper, found objects, plaster and paint on canvas.

About the Artist

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.
