THE EXTENDED FILED
(EXHIBITION CATALOGUE)

Luca Tommasi Arte Contemporanea – Milan, February – March 2017
Text by : Christopher Bucklow
The catalogue includes a conversation with British artists Mark Francis and Alexis Harding, set by Christopher Bucklow. Reflection moves from their abstract works of recent creation, focused on the shape of the grid, and characterized by vivid colors and glazed surfaces. What first comes to mind when I look at grids is the metaphor they make for an extended field. And I begin to ask myself what interest the artist might have in the field. I start by supposing that there is a metaphor being made about the field as an undivided whole. This starts me wondering if the artist is interested in a dissolving or submergence of the self into the whole, or some such variation on that theme…. It could be social, political, philosophical.
