UNTITLED - CALE DE ISER
Mixed media on canvas, 2001/2
“What was to go on canvas was not a picture but an event” said critic Harold Rosenberg in reference to gestural paintings - this in essence introduces Cale De Iserʼs work. His use of material and its commentary, is a nod to the 1960ʼs Arte Povera movement and often relies on material, used juxtaposed, to provide a dynamic narrative. Mark making, as in moulding and melting of material, fine lines, impressions, dents, white space and textures, are a recurring approach in De Iserʼs practice. In his approach he attempts a cohesive narrative, a social commentary, by pairing down the ʻdichotomy between art and lifeʼ. Presented on contemporary white submerged frame.
