This show brings together more than twenty-five paintings by Hugo McCloud from 2020–2026, many from his Burdened Man series. McCloud uses materials like aluminum foil, tar paper and hand-cut single-use plastic to build scenes of labor, still life, nature and abstraction set in places such as Los Angeles, Morocco, India and Spain; several new works are presented alongside selections from ongoing bodies of work.

The exhibition runs at the Memorial Art Gallery from September 26, 2026 through January 3, 2027, giving you a broad window to plan a visit. Allow time to move through the Docent Gallery and take in the range of materials and subjects across the paintings when arranging your trip.
