For the most part, these are paintings dating back to the 1980s – a time in which a group of artists deployed gestural brushstrokes and applied layer upon layer of paint in revisiting figurative art. Representational though these works may be, there is more to them than just a depiction of reality.
These brief remarks are all I would like to say about the exhibition. No doubt you will make many more discoveries this evening – particularly in the way the exhibits contrast with one another – and be inspired to “build dialogues” of your own.
