GOSEE: painting , is a painting , is a painting at Cul De Sac Presented by Rod Barton Gallery

26th January – 26th February, 2012 Cul De Sac, 65-69 County Street, London SE1

Rod Barton is pleased to present “Painting, is a Painting, is a Painting”, a group exhibition at Cul de Sac, a new artist-run project space in London. This exhibition brings together six international artists: Nicolas Deshayes, Roman Liška, Oliver Osborne, Oliver Perkins, Dan Rees, Hugh Scott-Douglas, each one pushing the boundaries of contemporary image-making. Conflicting representations of the frame as both a supporting and restrictive device are played against established conventions of painting.
