Malerei: Painting As Object investigates painting, as a process, its guises and paint itself as a substance. Each artist shares a love of material and the qualities of ‘thing-ness’, whether oozing oil paint, found objects, performance or jesmonite, yet avoids slavishness to the visceral by embodying and appropriating particular areas of painting’s history. Thus revealing a painterly investigation of the modernist concern ‘objecthood’, postmodern eclecticism and the post-production trend of continuous re-working.
