Howard Hodgkin exhibition

"He's into this abstract-type thing" (overheard as I sat in one if the gallery rooms. Abstract? Looking at the assertive use of paint and brushmarks, the emphasis on frames, or the simple choice of what looks to be a kitchen bread board for 'After Ellsworth Kelly', "abstract" isn't the word I'd use.

...

In the cafeteria afterwards - trendily extending into what was the road outside - my eyes are fixed on the now eroding single yellow line. The pocked yellow paint overlaying the grey tarmac - pure Hodgkin.
