Incident
Jan Murray
20 June → 12 July 2008

Incident forms part of Jan Murray’s ongoing investigations into the internal and external architecture of painting.

Here, the artist installs a single trompe l’oeil painting, in which the canvas appears to have been gutted – cut open in a surgical dissection.

Incident highlights the space between the surface of the canvas, the wall it sits upon, and tests the literal and metaphysical limits of painting as object and illusionistic vehicle.
