While the majority of works in this exhibition were made during lengthy periods of isolation inside his home studio in New York City, these recent paintings elicit a remarkable sense of optimism.
The exhibition takes its title from a painting of the same name (in turn borrowed from Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel), which signals the inevitability of time marching on despite the devastating context of a global pandemic and acknowledges the beauty and privilege inherent in witnessing the potential of each new dawn.
