The Six Paintings about the Temporary Loss of Eyesight (They are Painting the Boat) 2015

“The series The Six Paintings about the Temporary Loss of Eyesight are presented as works by an aging artist who may or may not be afflicted with deteriorating vision. This is represented by small dots which are evenly spread across the surface of the painting. There are echoes of the sweet wrapper attached to the earlier Holiday paintings, which a different fictional artist used to revitalise previously make works. Together the series suggest that, as Emilia has said,‘reality can never be seen straight on but is always obscured either on purpose or by necessity.” [Tate Modern wall text]
