Incorporating sculpture, photography, drawing, and found objects, Locke's oeuvre has been described as a \"postcolonial baroque\" that deconstructs and reimagines deeply entrenched iconographies of British sovereignty. This richly illustrated catalogue showcases the full spectrum of Locke's practice, bringing together distinct bodies of work that scrutinize the visual language of empire and colonialism's present-day legacies of global market capitalism, migration, and diaspora. Essays from leading curators, critics, and scholars of contemporary art situate Locke's work within the context of colonial and postcolonial history and theory, reveal how his use of nontraditional materials--including cardboard, fabric, beads, sequins, and readymade toys--enables the artist to reflect on his Guyanese-British heritage, and consider how the artist's dense, highly textured, and multilayered works fuse vernacular and formal traditions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Yale Center for British Art \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eYale Center for British Art\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (October 2, 2025-January 11, 2026) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eWexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, OH\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (February 13-May 24, 2026) \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eMuseum of Fine Arts, Houston\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (June 21-September 13, 2026)\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartina Droth\u003c\/b\u003e is Paul Mellon Director of the Yale Center for British Art. \u003cb\u003e Allie Biswas\u003c\/b\u003e is a writer and editor based in London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 304\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.31 x 12.15 x 9.77 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 30, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52494499217715,"sku":"9780300284683","price":82.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/c6MOTYXjWZ9780300284683.webp?v=1759985689","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/hew-locke-passages-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
