Mirror in the Bathroom: New Paintings by Clive Head

Meer over het boek

Clive Head's work is explored through the lens of his influences, including masters like Titian and Matisse. Michael Paraskos highlights Head's ambition to craft paintings that offer an alternative reality, immersing viewers in a surreal experience akin to Lewis Carroll's imaginative worlds. Paraskos argues that Head's approach allows painting to embrace the concept of mise en abyme, as theorized by Roland Barthes, while still creating visually captivating images that resonate deeply with audiences.
