DAVID HOMINAL – COSMOS SUITE
2024-01-15For his seventh exhibition at Mennour, Swiss artist David Hominal (born in 1976) is showing a recent series of paintings under the title Cosmos suite. They are based on a body of work commissioned to the artist in the summer of 2023, which itself echoed the older series Sunflowers (made during a residency at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam in 2010), Hands (2019), No titre 2021 (2020), and Feuilles mortes Still Life (2021).
Hominal has taken the flowers in the garden he keeps next to his Berlin studio as his subject, freely grafting together the traditions of expressionism and figuration. His garden is a necessary daily retreat, as much a place of cultivation and meditation as a theme in his work. These paintings, in which oversized cosmoses appear to spill over a few seeds, have been made from videos in which Hominal has often preferred a flow of images to static shots.
