Curatorial note:
In Blue Pool, John Lennon and Yoko Ono wade together through a dazzling expanse of cobalt and gold, their grayscale forms cutting through vibrant color fields like revenants of a collective cultural memory. Behind them, a solitary red-clad figure nods to David Hockney’s iconic swimming pool tableaux, refracted here into a more emotionally fraught scene. The stenciled hills, lush and almost artificial in their chlorophyll yellows and greens, evoke both paradise and confinement. This is a work of layered geographies—celebrity, memory, and myth—where affective and aesthetic tensions ripple across every brushstroke, and where water becomes the archive of what cannot be retrieved.
