BRUSSELS.- Xavier Hufkens announced representation of American artist Richard Aldrich. Known for a practice that approaches painting as an open, iterative field, Aldrich develops works in which gesture, revision, and material presence remain in active dialogue. His works foreground process and perception, inviting a sustained and attentive engagement with how images take shape over time.

Xavier Hufkens: “Richard Aldrich’s work occupies a particularly open and inquisitive space within painting – one that embraces hesitation, revision, and the poetics of the fragment. We are very pleased to welcome him to the gallery, and look forward to engaging with a practice that continues to challenge and expand the language of painting.”

The gallery will present Aldrich’s work at Art Basel in June 2026, followed by his first solo exhibition with the gallery in Brussels in spring 2027. The artist is also represented by Gladstone Gallery, Misako & Rosen, and Modern Art.
