Stephen Prina

Maureen Paley, London

Characterised by the appropriation of other artists' works, he has developed a series of lasting projects that embrace a multi-faceted system in which personal and art historical narratives augment one another.


comunicato stampa

Maureen Paley is pleased to present the first solo exhibition at the gallery by American artist Stephen Prina.

The exhibition will include works from the series Exquisite Corpse: The Complete Paintings of Manet, in which Prina indexically draws on the complete oeuvre of Impressionist painter Édouard Manet. Characterised by the appropriation of other artists’ works, Prina has developed a series of lasting projects that embrace a multi-faceted system in which personal and art historical narratives augment one another.

Concerned with principles of translation, Prina, in his realisation of these works considers the critical implications of artistic quotation and historical cross-referencing. Continually addressing the relationship between artist and audience and questions of cultural and institutional formatting, Prina’s methodology straddles installation, painting, drawing, film, performance and music.

He will give a talk about his work in the Culture Now series at the ICA, London on Friday 20 April, 1.15pm.
