Tonight at St Marks!

Harold Ancart — Soft Places (Selected Works on Paper 2015/2018) Presentation of the limited editions Sunday November 18, 5–7 pm

Paintings and drawings are the main focus of Harold Ancart’s practice. Distinctly graphic, his high contrast forms are illuminated by delicate accents, intoxicating colors, and his unique oil stick application. In the second volume of Soft Places, Harold Ancart continues his journey through psychedelic, colorful landscapes.

Born in Brussels, Belgium, in 1980, Harold Ancart currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. As a site-specific installation, his work is currently on display as part of Peindre la nuit exhibition at the Centre Pompidou-Metz (2018–2019).

In addition, he has participated in various international solo and group exhibitions, including: Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, Paris (2017); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2013); and WIELS, Brussels (2012).
