Description

Hugo McCloud: A Survey of the Art of Hugo McCloud. Brooklyn-based painter Hugo McCloud creates large-scale works that explore labor, geopolitics and climate crisis. His paintings often feature subjects from behind or with their faces obscured, finding beauty in the everyday. McCloud incorporates unconventional materials such as single-use plastic bags, black tar and aluminum sheets into his work, alongside bronze panels treated with acid. McCloud's art is informed by a deep interest in social and political concerns, particularly those affecting immigrant workers. Over 15 years, he has developed an inventive approach to materiality through rigorous experimentation. This book brings together McCloud's remarkable oeuvre for the first time, showcasing his unique vision. Through this survey, readers can gain insight into the artist's process and the themes that drive his work.
