Leaves of the Brush

Leaves of the Brush from Martin Claydon investigates the act of painting itself. This inquiry mounts a response to questions of what painting can offer the experience of the modern world. Claydon's formidable composition of figurative imagery depicts the capacity of a painting, contrasting both its glory and its limits. A devotion to the purity of painting is surrendered in the pursuit of reflecting the sheer mass of our cultural terrain.
