Honor Titus is renowned for work that pierces the opulent veneer of Western culture, offering windows onto moments of isolation, loss and desire. Frieze Seoul 2024 is Titus's first solo art fair exhibition in Asia, presented by Timothy Taylor. Reflecting on issues of social class and racial dynamics, Titus debuts eight new paintings that take his approach to colour and composition in increasingly graphic and abstract directions.
Livia Russell Can you talk about your new work for Frieze Seoul?
Honor Titus I'll be sending a few paintings to Frieze Seoul which contain a rumination on two of my favourite things: alluring women and pop art.
LR How does this work fit within your œuvre?
HT I think that ideas of class and social structure are to be sought with my work. Some may also say leisure and beauty. I think that these works are a continuation of these ideas, while also serving a more graphic and somewhat abstracted approach.
