Thomas Houseago: Night Sea Journey

On September 9, 2024, Lévy Gorvy Dayan opened Thomas Houseago: Night Sea Journey, a major exhibition that sees the artist pushing boundaries—material and psychological—as he sprawls intricate visions across three floors of the gallery’s Beaux-Arts townhouse.

Night Sea Journey marks Houseago’s first exhibition in New York City in ten years. It showcases new paintings and sculptures that realize the artist’s recent battles with trauma, from which he emerged with a greater understanding of his powers. The result is a raw odyssey from darkness to light that culminates in a symphonic room-spanning tapestry on the gallery’s skylit top floor, created en plein air in Malibu, like the rest of the exhibition.

Night Sea Journey included a film on Houseago directed by Andrew Dominik and produced by Saul Germaine, PJ van Sandwijk, and Paul Kahil.
