The focus is on large-format \u003cem\u003eAction Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e and new, polychrome \u003cem\u003eProteus Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e in small formats. Painted or shaped with the hands, the pictures have an intensive reference to the body, appear conceptual and sensual at the same time. Despite all the differences to the French Impressionism in the Langmatt collection, light and movement are the central pictorial elements here as well as there.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eAction Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e represent part of a larger concern with self-reflection, and how the traces of the hand’s gestures are indexical of the artist’s presence within the work: relaying movement and creating an unexpected illusory space that gives the paintings a curious photographic quality. Named after the shape-shifting Greek deity, \u003cem\u003eProteus Paintings\u003c\/em\u003e are about the process of their own making, working with the medium’s facility for embodying change and transformation, in ways suggestive of both tiny and vast forces and the ambiguous space this conjures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatje Cantz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47394800992514,"sku":"BK-HAT-MARWAL-001-A","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0401\/6226\/3204\/files\/IMG_1359_2c5a0ba4-e05d-4340-9c61-100032838db2.jpg?v=1775749321","url":"https:\/\/www.booksaboutart.co.uk\/products\/mark-wallinger-2","provider":"Books About Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
