Publisher's Synopsis
A catalogue documenting two exhibitions and five years of new work, from 2007 to 2012, by American artist Mark Tansey, held at Gagosian Gallery, London, and Los Angeles. Mark Tansey constructs visual allegories about the nature and implications of perception, meaning, and interpretation in art. Manipulating the conventions and structures of figurative painting, he creates corollaries for sometimes arcane literary, philosophical, and historical concepts.
