Red T Shirt Grey. Winstanley uses the language of photography as source material and gesture, staging, re-staging and manipulating the image to make a highly fabricated series of paintings that raise ideas around authenticity and authorship.
Pippy Houldsworth Gallery is delighted to have the opportunity to present a project of new work by Paul Winstanley from 31 May to 30 June 2012. Red T Shirt Grey brings together a new group of paintings that deal with the figure across sites of London urban parkland, from Canary Wharf to Crystal Palace. Winstanley uses the language of photography as source material and gesture, staging, re-staging and manipulating the image to make a highly fabricated series of paintings that raise ideas around authenticity and authorship.

Group exhibitions include Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Galeria Pilar Serra, Madrid; Kunsthalle, Hamburg; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; The Renaissance Society, Chicago; and Tate Gallery, London. His work is represented in collections including the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Tate Gallery, London; British Council; Arts Council of Great Britain and Burger Collection, Berlin.
