In the Studio with Rodney Graham

In advance of Rodney Graham's upcoming exhibition Who does not love a tree?, this film revisits a studio portrait of the late artist discussing his painting practice in 2020. Next up in London, Graham's 15th show with Lisson Gallery explores his longstanding relationship to the natural world through two major bodies of work related to trees: the large-format photographs of upside-down Oxfordshire Oaks (1990) and a two-screen, immersive video environment entitled Edge of a Wood (1999).

Rodney Graham also discusses his lightboxes and the work Lobbing Potatoes at a Gong (1969), which will be on view at Lisson Gallery London from 18 February – 11 April 2026.
