ACA Galleries presents Augustus Francis: Materia Prima, the artist’s New York City debut, featuring two bodies of work reflecting opposing forces in his practice. The Oltremarino series, created in the English countryside, features fluid blues and earthy striations, while the New York series incorporates bold reds and fluorescent pigments, capturing urban energy. Francis explores alchemy as a metaphor for creativity, using flow painting, impasto, and reflective materials to create dynamic, tactile compositions.
