ABOUT PAINTING
AS PRESENCE
In the
world of contemporary art the critical establishment often
ignores or dismisses painting as being an outmoded form – historically
superceded. Yet
painting’s audience continues to grow and large numbers
of young artists continue to paint. Like poetry, music,
dance or drama, it is a form, not just another medium.
Through the centuries that form has retained its capacity to
express the vision of painters as different as Giotto and de
Kooning. I
hope this exhibition will reveal some of the richness and diversity
of painters working today - seeking to bring life and presence
from inert materials. Art is rare but the struggle to achieve it
can offer surprising glimpses.
-Juror William Bailey, Kingman Brewster
Professor of Art Emeritus, Yale University.
