Alex Katz: White Lotus

GRAY presents White Lotus , a series of 12 large-scale paintings by Alex Katz created in his Maine studio in the summer of 2023, where the artist—a pioneer between abstract expressionism and pop, known for his flat portraits and lyrical landscapes inspired by 20th-century American culture (TV, film, advertising)—captures couples in fleeting moments of the present, influenced by photography, television, and Italian cinema of the 70s, consolidating his distinctive style of economy of line and everyday modernity after six decades of experience in painting, drawing, sculpture, and printmaking.
