Another major London art week highlight: one of the great figurative painters working in the UK today, Ania Hobson, just opened Quiet Enough to Stand at The Fores Project. There is a sensory overload in Hobson’s new works, and that is not to say they are loud or dense. They evoke a sense of nature, the landscape, the sounds we hear on a solitary walk, and maybe even more astute, the sounds of memories. The people, birds, the forest, all have a sound in these new works, and just like Hobson’s paintings in the past that were bird’s eye views of friends in social settings or the intimacy of a couple in an argument, all these works channel a sense of what a memory looks like and what the sounds are that tell us the stories of our life. —Evan Pricco
