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.
