Color Screenprint - Signed and dated // Tropical Fruits by Howard Hodgkin, created in 1981, is a color screen print that embodies Hodgkin’s expressive and abstract style. The composition features a vibrant mix of colors, with an intense palette of green, red, and brown framed by thick, layered brushstrokes. The central form, a bold green mass paired with deep maroon, suggests organic elements or fruit-like shapes. Surrounding this, radiant bursts of red seem to pulse outward, adding a sense of heat and energy to the image. Hodgkin's use of vivid color and texture brings a tactile quality to the print, evoking the lushness and warmth often associated with tropical environments. Signed and dated, this piece is a fine example of Hodgkin’s ability to convey emotion and atmosphere through abstraction.

What is Gestural?
Gestural art is a term that describes painting with freely sweeping brushstrokes. The primary goal of gestural art is to allow the artist to physically express emotional impulses. The varied, yet expressive paint marks are intended to convey the artist's inner thoughts and emotions, which viewers are believed to understand through the dynamic and spontaneous application of paint.
