The article on °äé³ú²¹²Ô²Ô±ð explores his sustained engagement with the question of what it is to ‘represent’ at a particular historical moment. It describes his refinement of an experimental painting practice that balanced control of means with a state of open-ended possibility or uncertainty. Close scrutiny of the paintings’ surfaces and technical study of the evolution of the ÁùºÏ²ÊÔ¤²â °äé³ú²¹²Ô²Ô±ðs enabled a critical reading of secondary accounts of °äé³ú²¹²Ô²Ô±ð’s practice and his own theoretical statements. The article also investigates the ways in which °äé³ú²¹²Ô²Ô±ð chose to use his materials, not to copy or reproduce nature but to give ‘concrete expression to his sensory experiences’.
