DAYS LIKE THESE
1 May - 3 June 2023
Nick Goss, France-Lise McGurn and Clare Woods
DE LEÓN is pleased to present the work of three painters, Nick Goss, France-Lise McGurn and Clare Woods.
All three artists share a passion for the materiality of paint, drawing upon their imaginations to create immersive, figurative works, often inspired by found sources and personal experiences. The title, Days Like These, reflects both our individual everyday experiences, as well as the turmoil and fragility of our era. It implies not only a state of mind, but also a state of being. Much of what each artist shows is intimate, exhibiting a reverence for the ordinary and everyday yet imbued with topics that are shaping contemporary society such as the climate emergency, the environment, health and well-being, as well as gender, sexuality and identity.
