M+B is pleased to present “We should be home by now,” an exhibition of new works by Leo Mock. The exhibition will be on view from December 13, 2025 through January 10, 2026, with an opening reception on Saturday, December 13, from 6 to 8 pm.
“We should be home by now.” The sentiment embedded in the title hovers over the autumn weatherscapes like a distant love. Should we have arrived somewhere meaningful by now, somewhere steady, fulfilling, spiritual, or even just terrestrially grounded? But arrival is always fleeting, always provisional. Home, if it exists at all, is a sensation that evaporates the instant we attempt to grasp it, as mutable as a cloud. The exhibition’s title, lifted from David Bowie’s song Time, with all the implied yearning and sly existential ache, frames Leo Mock’s suite of paintings, which feel at once personal and cosmically estranged.
