Group Statement

In an environment in which the validity of painting is constantly contested, we feel that it is important to explore what painting means in today's art context. We intend to showcase our personal explorations of the practice of painting at the beginning of the 21st century.

Whilst always keeping a careful eye on the rich tradition that we have inherited, we nevertheless seek not to be bound by this inheritance. We feel it important to investigate the establishment of hierarchies; those of subject matter, materials, presentation, and meaning. Amongst the practices we employ are the integration of media images, notions of abstract formalism, and an interest in the materiality of paint itself.

We feel strongly that the particular visual filters and editing processes that we have individually imposed onto these concerns create a unique insight into the possibilities offered through the medium of paint today.
