Catalogue Note
“There is an interplay between the reality of paintings as physical objects and their truth as images, provided they speak to our reality, cannot easily be distinguished. When we peer into a painting, it is logic and instinct together which dictate whether we should stop and question the reality in front of us or dive headlong into the inner world of the picture”.
