Band 6 Response High
The Gap Between Fine Art and Life is a cleverly articulated arrangement of small and larger panels. The concept is a subtle and sophisticated one, which is explored in a highly nuanced and sustained manner. The choices and decisions demonstrate technical proficiency and a sustained engagement with the practice of painting. Subtle transitions between milky wax and scumbled painterly surfaces are interspersed with witty and visually appealing collage elements. The work as a whole demonstrates a knowledge about and an understanding of the practice of painting, as well as a deep engagement with 20th century developments in this field.
