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.
