This project functions as an attempt −perhaps a failed one, like painting itself− in redefine and rethink the concept of painting as well as to problematize both the idea of representation, their materiality, and the notion −possibly generalized− of it. Notion that has simultaneously been underrated and overstated in formal and conceptual definition.
