About the Work
Pieter Schoolwerth’s ‘painting in the last instance’ captures invisible flows of abstraction that structure contemporary experience, and turns them into motifs for an elaborate new kind of figurative painting. In his work, the materiality of paint itself reappears as a supplement only at the end of a complex, multi-media effort to produce a figurative picture depicting the ‘once removed’ space of the virtual.
NoRecord3_2019 revisits Schoolwerth’s Your Vacuum Sucks series from 2014- 2015, which combines photography, digital processing and printing, drawing, and painting to produce contemporary portraits that abstract and destabilize the human figure and its environment through processing the image through these various technologies.
