Accompanying the first exhibition of outstanding British artist
Mark Wallinger's paintings in Switzerland, this catalogue focuses
on his large-scale Action Paintings, complemented by a series of
new, polychrome small-scale paintings. Despite their many
differences from the works of French Impressionism the collection
of the Museum Langmatt is centered around, light and movement
remain the central elements here as there. A homage to the term
coined by Harold Rosenberg who claimed that for action painters the
canvas was not a representation but an extension of the mind
itself, these performative works move from image to action. Created
by sweeping paint-laden hands across the canvas in active freeform
gestures, they make intense reference to the body, intensified by
the use of plasticine which creates soft, relief-like effects.
