Il dipinto ritrae l’artista in tre fasi della vita — neonato, uomo di mezza età e anziano — intrecciate in una tenera scena domestica. Il bambino, sorretto tra due figure adulte, guarda verso uno specchio esagonale che riflette non solo il suo volto, ma anche il sé anziano che un giorno diventerà. Questa composizione stratificata unisce le generazioni in un unico istante, suggerendo sia la fragilità sia la permanenza dell’identità. Il realismo meticoloso di Mason e la sua quieta carica emotiva evocano lo scorrere del tempo come qualcosa di intimo e universale insieme — una riflessione sulla natura circolare della vita e sull’inevitabilità di diventare il proprio passato, presente e futuro.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Howard Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275817677133,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7335\/6877\/files\/alephcontemporary-howard-mason-me-myself-and-i-2021.webp?v=1755805829"},{"product_id":"ill-sleep-on-it-2021-copy","title":"DE PROFUNDIS","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"popup_region\" class=\"title\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"popup_region\" class=\"title\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"title\" id=\"popup_region\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoward Mason, \u003cem\u003eDe Profundis\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOlio su tela\u003cbr\u003e100 x 76 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDe Profundis\u003c\/em\u003e, Howard Mason trae ispirazione dall’omonima lettera dal carcere di Oscar Wilde — un’opera di confessione, sofferenza e rivelazione di sé. Il testo di Wilde traccia una discesa emotiva seguita da un doloroso riconoscimento di sé, e Mason traduce quel percorso in una forma visiva viscerale. La figura ripetuta dell’artista, mostrata in quattro stati sovrapposti, incarna condizioni psicologiche mutevoli — dolore, disperazione, angoscia e una fiducia nascente — riecheggiando l’oscillazione di Wilde tra rimorso e rinnovamento. Il disegno stratificato e semitrasparente mette a nudo vulnerabilità e introspezione, mentre la tavolozza sobria accentua il senso di lotta interiore. Come la scrittura di Wilde, il dipinto di Mason è una resa dei conti: un confronto con il sé frammentato e con la possibilità di ricostruirsi attraverso una riflessione sincera.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Howard Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275828949325,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7335\/6877\/files\/alephcontemporary-howard-mason-de-profundis-2016_fb4964c2-3e0f-4b5f-9efc-e66abbd009bb.webp?v=1755805975"},{"product_id":"birdman-2021","title":"BIRDMAN","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"popup_region\" class=\"title\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"46\" data-start=\"0\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"28\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eHoward Mason, \u003cem data-end=\"26\" data-start=\"16\"\u003eBird Man\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"31\" data-start=\"28\"\u003eOlio su tela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e46 x 60 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"794\" data-start=\"48\"\u003eDipinto durante il lockdown, \u003cem data-end=\"87\" data-start=\"77\"\u003eBird Man\u003c\/em\u003e è un autoritratto introspettivo che riflette la tensione del confinamento e il fragile desiderio di libertà. L’artista è accovacciato in uno spazio compresso e spigoloso, il corpo strettamente ripiegato come se fosse sospeso tra immobilità e volo. La postura, con la schiena curva e la testa inclinata, evoca sottilmente la forma di un uccello — una creatura legata al suolo ma desiderosa di liberarsi. La geometria essenziale dell’ambiente amplifica il senso di chiusura, mentre lo sguardo rivolto verso l’alto dell’artista suggerisce vigilanza e speranza insieme. Attraverso questa immagine dalla carica silenziosa, Mason trasforma l’isolamento della pandemia in una meditazione sulla resistenza, sulla metamorfosi e sull’irrefrenabile istinto umano di superare i limiti.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Howard Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275840942413,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7335\/6877\/files\/alephcontemporary-howard-mason-birdman-2021_ade7659d-685f-4097-bf49-1e48f59de88a.webp?v=1755806045"},{"product_id":"daily-bread-2023","title":"DAILY BREAD","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHoward Mason, \u003cem\u003eDaily Bread\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOlio su tela, 76 × 50 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eDaily Bread\u003c\/em\u003e, Howard Mason offre un autoritratto meditativo che unisce il gesto fisico dell’impastare alla riflessione spirituale. L’artista si china su un piano di tavolo blu — umile altare di un rituale quotidiano — mentre le sue mani lavorano l’impasto con un’intensità silenziosa che evoca i temi della creazione, del nutrimento e della condivisione. La composizione ha una sottile risonanza cristiana, richiamando il manto blu della Vergine, lo spezzare del pane e la sacralità del lavoro. Come nei dipinti devozionali del primo Rinascimento di Giovanni Bellini, Mason usa il davanzale come espediente per attirare lo spettatore nella scena e al tempo stesso separarlo, gettando un ponte tra l’arte e il testimone. Attraverso questo gesto intimo, il dipinto diventa insieme un autoritratto e un atto contemporaneo di contemplazione — un momento in cui il sacro e l’ordinario convergono dolcemente.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Howard Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52275848839501,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7335\/6877\/files\/alephcontemporary-howard-mason-daily-bread-2023.webp?v=1755806130"},{"product_id":"howard-mason-portrait-2023","title":"Howard Mason | Portrait","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\" id=\"popup_region\"\u003ePortrait\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"comma\"\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"year\"\u003e2023\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium\"\u003eOlio su tavola\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003e35,5 x 28 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Howard Mason","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52659845726541,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7335\/6877\/files\/alephcontemporary-howard-mason-portrait-2023.jpg?v=1761571264"},{"product_id":"diptych-2002","title":"Diptych, 2002","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium\"\u003eOlio su tela\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003e24 x 19 cm per pannello\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"signed_and_dated\"\u003eFirmato e datato sul retro\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_copyright_line\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copyright_line\"\u003eCopyright l'artista\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExhibited Bodelwyddan 2013-14\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexander Adams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52666087080269,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/7335\/6877\/files\/alephcontemporary-alexander-adams-diptych-2002.jpg?v=1761682633"},{"product_id":"for-delacroix-2024","title":"For Delacroix, 2024","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"subtitle\"\u003e\n\u003cspan id=\"popup_region\" class=\"title\"\u003eFor Delacroix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"comma\"\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"year\"\u003e2024\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_artwork_caption prose\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"medium\"\u003eOlio su cartone telato\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dimensions\"\u003eOval 42 x 30 cm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"signed_and_dated\"\u003eFirmato e datato sul retro\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"detail_view_module detail_view_module_copyright_line\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copyright_line\"\u003eCopyright l'artista\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copyright_line\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copyright_line\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e(31 March -
