Reggie Burrows Hodges (b. 1965, Compton) is known for his sensuous black and jewel-toned paintings of labor, community rituals, and solitary moments. His paintings combine observations of contemporary life with traditional artist techniques that date back centuries to the Renaissance era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hodges\u2019s art is presented simultaneously in three venues in Los Angeles: CAAM, Art + Practice, and the Getty Center. In CAAM\u2019s exhibition, A Theater of Miracles<\/em>, Hodges\u2019s compositions reflect the influence that Old Master paintings have had on his practice. His modern takes bring attention to everyday gestures while maintaining the sense of drama in the historical works. Several paintings are inspired by works in the Getty\u2019s collection, including The Miracle of the Quail <\/em>(1554) by Jacopo Bassano, which joins Hodges\u2019s work on display at CAAM. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A Theater of Dreams<\/em> at Art + Practice presents paintings inspired by Hodges\u2019s memories of childhood in Compton, the legacy of Leimert Park, and his experiences traveling through Europe, expanding viewers\u2019 understanding of Hodges\u2019 sources of inspiration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reggie Burrows Hodges: A Theater of Dreams <\/em> is curated by Bridget R. Cooks, independent curator, scholar, and professor of African American studies and art history at the University of California, Irvine, and is co-presented by the California African American Museum and Art + Practice as part of CAAM at A+P, a five-year collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The exhibition is part of a three-venue presentation that includes Reggie Burrows Hodges: A Theater of Miracles <\/em>at CAAM and Reggie Burrows Hodges: A Theater of Passions<\/em> at the Getty Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","available_media":[],"class_list":["post-3862","exhibition","type-exhibition","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artandpractice.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition\/3862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artandpractice.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibition"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artandpractice.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/exhibition"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artandpractice.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"available_media","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artandpractice.org\/ja\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/available_media?post=3862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
