"Hybrids"
2001-04-06 until 2001-06-24
Tate Liverpool
Liverpool, ,
UK United Kingdom
This exhibition brings together eight critically acclaimed contemporary painters from North
America, Brazil, Britain and Germany, whose work, although diverse and individual,
shares some common concerns in extending the traditions and language of painting.
The work of these artists references film and digital imaging, sampling, graphic design,
fashion, urban architecture, comics and photography. They put art historical styles,
including Pop art, Post-Painterly Abstraction, Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism,
alongside references from their own particular cultures. This diversity gives their paintings
the quality of hybridity, and allows an exploration of different cultural and technological
concerns.
