Stacked

In Stacked, Maggi Hodge explores the relationship between repetition, balance, and expressive abstraction through a vibrant arrangement of rounded forms and contrasting colors. Bold passages of violet, turquoise, orange, red, and golden yellow interact across a richly textured surface, creating a composition filled with visual energy. Thick black outlines define loosely stacked circular and oval shapes, while overlapping contours, scratched textures, and gestural markings introduce movement and depth. The result is a dynamic composition in which individual forms retain their distinct identities within a unified visual structure.

What distinguishes Stacked is its interplay between organization and spontaneity. Drawing on the expressive language of Abstract Expressionism and geometric abstraction, Hodge balances recurring circular motifs with irregular outlines and intuitive mark-making, creating a dynamic tension between structure and freedom.

Hodge transforms familiar rounded forms into an expressive meditation on structure, connection, and transformation. Through its bold color, tactile complexity, and rhythmic composition, Stacked invites contemplation of how seemingly separate elements can achieve harmony through repetition, variation, and their interconnected relationships.
