EXPANDING PAINTING. Antonio Prates Gallery. Lisbon. December 2007 - January 2008. One man Show.

"Expanding painting" is the title of one of the paintings in this exhibition and also the title of the show itself. The paint spreads outwards from the painting, spilling over its own boundaries to continue on a second surface. A painted cube is joined to and rests on an enormous canvas surface. As the paint flows across this blank canvas, the tongues of colour create a second painting, linking the two superimposed canvasses. What is interesting here is the display of a painting in expansion. Without entering into debates surrounding the theme of different mediums currently used to present works of art, what interests me is showing a precise moment of enquiry. A moment of experimentation on a journey to investigate the possibilities that painting
continues to offer today.
