The show highlights the contemporary practice to transcend the image from its initial flatness towards a three-dimensional sculptural rendering through the use of paint's materiality and/or additional materials. Whether incorporating complex textures (Mahsa Merci, Laura Sanders, Paco Pomet, Mr Starcity), utilizing the surface of the work as part of an image (Friedrich Kunath, Ben Quilty, Kim Dorland), manipulating thick layers of paint as a sculpting material (Shaina Mccoy, Jose Lerma, Nicolas Holiber), or elevating the image with additional mediums and structures (Chloe Chiasson, Floris Van Look, Christian Rex Van Minnen, Miguel Angel Payano Jr, Moises Salazar), these artists not frequently surpassing the mere rendition and are working towards shaping their imagery.
