For the 2022 Armory Show Focus section, we are presenting an installation of three new large plastic paintings by Hugo McCloud which engage with issues concerning geopolitics, migration, the value of labor, and concern for the growing disparity in social and racial economics. The booth will also feature four still-lifes, which, speak to the passage of time and the changing of seasons. Produced using only single-use plastic bags, McCloud’s paintings simultaneously reflect his interest in global issues and concern for an economy and environment literally awash in an ocean of plastic and finding beauty in the overlooked. His awareness of the contradictions implicit in global economic inequality, pronounced internationally and in the United States, greatly informs his practice as an artist.

Sean Kelly presents a recent sculpture by Jose Dávila for The Armory Off-Site at the US Open. Throughout his oeuvre, Dávila consistently contrasts themes of volume and transparency, mass and lightness, and geometric and organic forms, through his use of natural and industrial materials. For Untitled, 2021, Dávila references the history of the readymade, juxtaposing a found object—a natural boulder—and positioning it between two man-made blocks of commercially produced concrete. Held in place simply by tension, the work relies on a delicate balance of gravity to remain stable. Further drawing attention to this moment of compression, Dávila painted the boulder a vivid blue, differentiating it and calling attention to the juncture between the natural, readymade stone and the industrial, concrete components.
