Exhibition One

Kevin Malloy | Painting | Doctor of Philosophy

I consider representational painting to be a visual and material dialectic. The material
procedures I employ in making paintings reflect how sight and thought are integrated in
the delivery of recursively painted units. The problems of depictions and painted
surfaces are examined through these abstractions within the visibility of process. This
determines painting as a particular way of seeing, further, it expresses the specificity of
painting as a material construction.
