At 44, Dana Schutz is the veteran of numerous international museum and gallery shows, and her work is in prominent collections worldwide. Recognized as one of the leading artists of her generation, Schutz has been called expressionistic, surrealistic, abstract, and realistic. She’s all these and more. A close observer of the here and now, adept at capturing the essence of pop culture, she also reveres legends such as Alice Neel, Philip Guston, Picasso, and Max Beckmann, whose approaches she freely samples without an ounce of nostalgia. “Shadow of a Cloud Moving Slowly” is Schutz’s first solo exhibition in London. Expect multiple layers of meaning and a wholly original style. —Patricia Zohn
