Rodney Graham. Wet on Wet

Beschreibung

Rodney Graham defi es categorisation by employing multiple styles and by working in diverse media including photography, film, performance, music and text. Wet on Wet: My Late Early Styles presents a new body of worksreflecting on the practice of painting. For Wet on Wet Graham adopts the eccentric persona of the “gifted amateur”, a recurrent fi gure in his recent work. The works encompass a variety of styles, as Graham places painting in the context of post-medium practice. The artist credits music with informing much of his work. A musician himself, he views his role as an artist as an extension of the idea of performance. Graham’s work examines social and philosophical systems of thought, in particular those derived from the transition of the Enlightenment into Modernism. Underlying each work is a historical context through which a complex narrative incorporates literary and philosophic references and visual puns.
