In Search of Lost Time borrows its title from Proust’s famous early 20th-century novel. In his modernist epic, recollections of youth and adolescence are combined with experimental form. These spirits animate this new sensitive body of work by Atticus Gordon. Made throughout the artist’s 30th year, he remembers, imagines, and invents narratives of youth and coming-of-age. The paintings and drawings in this collection are staunchly experimental. They toy with formal questions, painterly organization, and the multiplicity of meaning. Atticus’s practice is focused on the questions and problems of painting in the contemporary moment. He rejects the status quo, producing works which demand a close looking - being seen on their own terms.
