About

The end of figuration is Mathieu's first institutional solo exhibition in Europe and focuses on a series of new paintings and a site-specific fabric installation reaching through the centre of the gallery. The artist's mixing of mediums across painting, ceramics, and fabric is underpinned by a provocation: how might we conceive the end of figuration within art making, such that we see in a work only what we wish to find? In posing this question, he simultaneously highlights art's inevitable failure to capture reality alongside its potential to be an illuminating vehicle for processing our past and present experiences.
