The first complete monograph devoted to the work of one of
Britain's most powerful and original contemporary artists. David
Breuer-Weil studied at the Central Saint Martins School of Art and
Clare College, Cambridge. From the late 1980's until the late
1990's he worked as a specialist in Impressionist, Modern and
Contemporary art at Sotheby's, London and as a curator for de Pury
and Luxembourg Art in Geneva. He subsequently embarked on the epic
series of apocalyptic works now known as the Project, over three
hundred monumental paintings, a cycle that is arguably one of the
most profound and consistent achievements in recent British
painting. His determination to produce an art that deals with
momentous and challenging themes is a reaction to a world he knows
well, in which "art often seems to be reduced to a commodity": "In
my own work I consciously avoided the high polish, commercial,
slick look of much contemporary art. I wanted to produce colossal,
un-commercialized images of existential doubt". This lavishly
illustrated monograph presents a collection of paintings, drawings,
sculptures, installations and studio shots.
