In between painting : how current practice and history of the medium meet in a conceptual approach

Abstract

In this paper, I analyze how the history of the medium of painting adds its’ own context into the image I choose to paint and how it influences it and what happens when it meets at one point with contemporary, conceptual painting. Last but not least, I am sharing my thoughts about the role of the image in culture and how its’ accessibility and amount of reproductions influences its’ power and exclusivity. In the last chapter I am focusing on the personal and political layers of my art.
