Lehmann Maupin

Lehmann Maupin will host Childish for a day of painting open to the public, where visitors can interact with Childish and witness his creative process unfold.

This event will run alongside the exhibition, where the black water slid.

As a painter, Childish works quickly and intuitively, often creating his kinetic compositions in a single session without any revision. Working primarily on linen, his canvases exude a warm glow, and his palette is often natural and earthy, reflecting the tenor of the traditional art historical subjects—seascapes, figure in the landscape, still lives—he engages. His subjects are frequently people he knows or admires or drawn from his environment: birch forests, bathers, self-portraits, or his wife as a reclining female nude are recurring themes.
