Rita Ackermann: Hidden

New and early paintings exploring erasure and destruction

New York-based painter Rita Ackermann's (born 1968) Hidden focuses on a selection of recent paintings, which are placed in relation to the artist's early works from the 1990s, encompassing nearly 50 paintings and drawings developed over the past 30 years in New York.
In 2022 Ackermann began a new series of paintings titled War Drawings, in which oil, grease pencil and acrylic were heavily worked on rough linen canvas. In these works, figures become lost and lines are scraped away to reveal fragmented compositions. The War Drawings are presented alongside early drawings and paintings that depict adolescent female figures in clonelike multiples who engage in various self-destructive and hazardous activities.
