New Perspectives on Eardley’s Paintings – Alex Roberts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution

Abstract

Eardley’s pull to observe and comprehend our actuality via the painted mark provides new perspectives into her contribution to paintings’ importance in addressing the complexities of contemporary life. Discovering Eardley and seeking parallels with her own practice, artist lecturer, Alex Roberts briefly highlighted how painting as a slower medium, with personal reflective affect offers the viewer to reconsider directly, mediating reality. Introducing, how it pauses time for the viewer (and requires more of the painter) to decipher the haziness of modern life, the core of disposition, and our existence within time and space. Not didactically but as painting continually embraces its role of (re-) looking, as Eardley’s energetic commitment to candid perception demonstrates.
Supported by comparisons of a few, former heavyweight artists’ work, and their socially observed perspectives alongside Eardley and Alex’s work, Alex will reveal how painting can be provocative, sincere, critical, and sentimental. Noting that as a medium, it carries, is imbedded with, and bears witness to the intimacy of human touch.
