Lena Dunham first met the artist Honor Titus at the Sunset Tower pool—and the rest is history. The pair reunited to discuss French painting and F. Scott Fitzgerald ahead of his new solo show:
Timothy Taylor, an artist who that year had a solo show at the gallery’s Frieze booth. Along the crowds of collectors and friends was the filmmakerjust days earlier—and it was Titus who acted as matchmaker between the two. A year later, ahead of the opening of Titus’s first solo show at Taylor’s Mayfair gallery, Dunham reached out to see if she could return the favor by speaking with Titus about his new body of work, and the debutante balls that inspired it.
We were introduced at the Sunset Tower pool. And I'll never forget, I ordered some mint tea, and then Honor very gently poured it for me. And I was like, "Oh, this is a beautiful person, and I'm going to hold onto him."We talked about a lot of shared reference points about books, music, and culture—it felt like we'd been raised on some of the same ideas, or fed ourselves with some of the same ideas. And I fell deeply in love with his work and just wanted to be in his orbit.
And there's countless ways to do that, to capture those feelings. But I come to it from writing and music., he just brought me into a studio and showed me these French writers, he showed me Celine. We talked about Nabokov, we talked about Jean Genet, and it was in this salon-esque vibe that I approached painting where it was about ideas, and sentiment, and emotion rather than conjured image. I've just been really blessed.
