Jonathan Wateridge — Repainting
Jonathan Wateridge

Repainting

2011

A monumental oil painting by Jonathan Wateridge depicting figures engaged in the act of repainting a surface, blurring the boundaries between creation and erasure. Wateridge's signature hyperrealistic technique renders the scene with cinematic precision, evoking a sense of staged artifice that questions the nature of representation itself. The work invites reflection on the cyclical and self-referential process of image-making, as the act of painting becomes both the subject and the medium.
