Vincent Lavell
Synthetic Romantic Paintings 2003-10
‘The only cure for postmodernism is the incurable illness of romanticism’
(Introducing Postmodernism Richard Appignanesi and Chris Garratt 2003)
The paintings combine my interest in the physical surface of the support with
an interest in a 'synthetic' or ‘automatic’ production of painterly surfaces. The surface of the painting is a painting of a surface.

John Lavell
Works on paper
The division between the interpreted surface and the agent of creative production are worlds apart. This contradicts the indexical assumption that drives forensic investigators and exhibition viewers alike: they assume that the physical unity of studio actions and artworks on display are, in being clearly visible in the marks I make on the surfaces of large sheets of unframed paper that I exhibit, an invitation to interpret my intentions, emotions and other interior experiences that leave no interpretable trace.
