This summer I'm also lucky enough to be a part of this exciting traveling project (detail) curated by Andrew Bracey, it's a privilege to be included in such an exhibition with such a mix of incredible artists!!!
(detail) is an innovative new exhibition that features the work of 118
international artists, who have each selected a close-up from one of
their paintings. These details will be printed and displayed together to
give both a tantalising glimpse into the artworks, and create a huge
collage of images. The exhibition will launch at H-Project Space in
Bangkok this summer, before touring to Transition Gallery and The
Usher Gallery in the UK later this year.
At H-Project Space the exhibition will respond to the unique setting of the
gallery, a traditionally constructed Thai house. The 118 artworks will fit into
the distinctive wooden framework of the walls, completely filling and
transforming the space. Seen on mass, the different artworks will become a
form of collage. Connections between the painting details are deliberately
made by the curator in the display, as well as being formed serendipitously.
Viewers are encouraged to make their own associations and interpretations of
the juxtaposition of images.
The show will be re-presented and
re-imagined as it moves from H-Project
Space, Bangkok to the more
conventional exhibition spaces of Transition
Gallery, London and The
Usher Gallery, Lincoln, creating a show that is
responsive to each
venue.(detail) features a wide range of painters, from
the
well‐established to recent graduates. Their work encompasses
abstraction,
landscape, figuration and conceptually driven practices
and employs a wide
variety of mediums.
The reproduced close-up allows us to focus on the brush strokes, surface and
minutiae of the painting. It is most commonly used in the art world in the
pages of the exhibition catalogues or monographs. The idea of the detail is
also something that is particular to the painters’ approach to both making a
painting and viewing work in the gallery.
The exhibition’s curator Andrew Bracey explains:
“In the studio I have found my own relationship to working on a painting is up
close to it, with only occasional glimpses of the whole as I step back. This
focus on this particular painter’s viewpoint of the painting provoked the idea
for this exhibition. This exhibition is an attempt to bring this studio mentality to
the gallery. There is a power in the detail, it offers up fresh possibilities for
viewing painting.”
