Overview

This panel discussion explores the way that painters treat the canvas as a landing pad where references come together from different territories and time periods to create deeply ambiguous, composite images.

Does painting’s capacity to incorporate different elements from diverse genres and traditions, and to suggest connections between things we might never normally link, make it an ideal medium for reflecting on the currency of pictures in our image-saturated age?

All artists are featured in the Hayward Gallery exhibition Mixing It Up: Painting Today.

Level 5 Function Room, Green Side, Royal Festival Hall.
