Paintings from the Surplus Mound, a solo exhibition of recent works by Thomas Berding continues the artist’s exploration of the seemingly endless sense of surplus that surrounds and defines many aspects of our contemporary existence.
About
Drawing from conceptual and material structures and choices which linger beyond their intended use, in compelling fashion Berding’s recent paintings give vision to a world where new connections are constantly being forged and associations drawn. The layered and encrypted character of these conceptual beginnings is multiplied further by the artist’s use of stencils, collaged paint skins, and diverse paint handling. In the process, the boundary between an image and its means of fabrication is often exposed and the singular reference for any image dissolved or disrupted. The picture that results is of a world in a chronic state of being rebuilt and reimagined.
