Hugo Koha Lindsay b. 1987, Aotearoa New Zealand (Te Āti Awa, Ngāti Maru)
Hugo Koha Lindsay’s practice combines minimalism with abstraction. His paintings are not limited to paint on canvas; traces from his studio, home, and wider urban environment consequentially reside on his canvases, which may then be unstretched, cut, sewn, and re-stretched as he explores the processes of making that are usually disguised within a finished painting. The result are paintings that are interdisciplinary, evoking a transitional state that he embraces rather than avoids. Gow Langsford Gallery has represented Hugo Koha Lindsay since 2017. 78
