Product Description
by Alistair Payne (Author)
This key text is an in-depth analysis of contemporary interdisciplinary painting. It derives from an investigation into the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and issues a challenge to the medium-specific limitations of previous formalisms. The ideas contained within re-negotiate the theorisation and realisation of painting by proposing a commonality with Bergsonian and Deleuzian motifs of the virtual. In particular, this challenging work puts forward ideas of change and the new in relation to Deleuzian becomings, presenting new methods for contemporary painting. By incorporating current architectural theories in relation to concepts of spatiality and duration, it constitutes the reterritorialisation of both painting and thinking as practices and will be of benefit to practitioners and theoreticians engaged with the visual arts.
