Modal Approach and Accent - Gerda Scheepers

By applying imagery as short-hand for both her own art making process or specific (cultural) signs and figurations, Gerda Scheepers explores the medium of painting. Content and formal elements of painting are remixed through cut, copy and paste with the results actively pursuing ambiguity. The sculptures and paintings operate like devices for containment that, ultimately and crucially, fail to contain. Scheepers often works within series or groupings of work, creating environments for (often repetitive) motifs and gestures. In this selection of work the shape of a t-shirt is at the same time motif in a picture and picture surface for another layer of signifiers.
