## Description

The disciplines and abstractions of painting and physics may not seem to share much in common as tributaries of practice or thought, but one facet of their distinction does, indeed, nurture a telling synergy between the two: things get weird and wonderful when things get really small. The quantum experience is one where usual and known shift into a different frequency, offering a somewhat cabalistic pulchritude that vibrates with the elan of curiosity yet confounds with the abstruseness of the conundrum or enigma. By zooming in to a smaller picture plane with (usually) the same tools and same methodology employed for larger surfaces, the physicality of the act of painting changes and, with it, a new morphology of abstraction is issued. A condensation occurs, but not one associated with the brevity of the designed vignette or any conscious strategy of abbreviation. So it is that my thirteenth Scene ponders the work of three young painters – Isabella Amram, Gena Milanesi and Daniel Roibal - all recently graduated from The Royal College of Art in London who turn the rage of hyperbole into the aching sophistication of litotes whilst still maintaining the power and dynamo of the monumental. These smaller paintings – some measuring less than a square foot – convey a generosity of scale and fluidity with the calibration and proportion ordinarily reserved for the reverence of icons, jewels or secrets. The result is a presentation that collectively evinces the ornamental opulence of gesture and the complexity and grandeur of composition yet which are forged on smaller scales, forcing the viewer to simultaneously feel both demonstration and delectation, urging harder, longer looking. “Scene XIII: Microcosm” opens at my space on Porchester Place in London on Tuesday 30 September. Come see; all are welcome.
