About
The tonality of tennis is so very rich and interests me greatly. The implications of leisure and class draw me in, while, as a player, I know it to be an absolutely maddening endeavor. A well-dressed struggle for victory can be analogous to life itself.
—Honor Titus
Gagosian is pleased to present Advantage In, an exhibition of new paintings and a new installation by Honor Titus at the gallery in Beverly Hills. This is the artist’s first exhibition with Gagosian.
In an oeuvre marked by its immediacy and range, Titus draws on architectural, cinematic, musical, sporting, and literary sources (he has described approaching his subjects as if through the eyes of an “unexpected confidante” such as The Great Gatsby’s Nick Carraway). Through this compound perspective, he reframes formal social traditions for an inquiring contemporary audience, additionally underscoring the cultural significance of depicting people of color in the contexts of leisure and luxury.
