Painting As Material 11 / http://www.rhagallery.ie/lecture-series/painting-as-material-ii/ @RHA Gallery



Recent discourses in painting have witnessed an appetite to bypass theoretical and ideological de – nitions of the discipline that have come to dominate discussion around painting, in favour of painters themselves reclaiming the agenda and leading through individual practice. Paint as medium and material carries endless creative possibilities. The RHA School has invited a number of painters to talk publicly in the context of how the material of paint is embedded in the broader practice

Talks are open to the public and will take place on Wednesday evenings in the Friends’ Room at 5:30pm. Please note that the Mark O’Kelly talk will take place on Thursday, 8 March at 5:30pm.

Luc Tuymans  is not shy about admitting that he is easily one of the most influential figurative painters working today. His work - which often deals with heavy historical subjects like the Holocaust and postcolonial guilt - resists easy interpretation. So fans and the creatively curious alike will be delighted by the  Whitechapel Gallery 's launch of  On & By Luc Tuymans , a collection of Tuyman's writings (one of them is appropriately entitled, "I Still Don't Get It") on not only his own ideas and images, but those of El Greco, Giorgio Morandi, and Neo Rauch, to name a few. Edited by historian-publisher Peter Ruyffelaere, it also includes critical essays, dialogues and interviews by art historians, critics, and artists like Ai Wei Wei and Takashi Murakami.
