Study #3 Painting

Painted at the start of 2022, the small canvases comprising the series called Ten Studies present a kind of compressed version of Barwick’s visual vocabulary. In works such as Study #10 (2022) and Study #7 (2022) we can see the kind of strongly defined lines that elsewhere get deconstructed in works such as Study #8 (2022) and Study #9 (2022). And while a work such as Study #4 (2022) might at first seem to complete this progression, showing a field that initially reads as almost completely exploded, a second glance begins to suggest that the progression is actually a cycle in which each technique is always in conversation with a deconstructed (or reconstructed) version of itself. Though heavily obscured, the oranges in Study #4 (2022) slowly start to resolve into something that almost suggests a depth of field, vertical lines still operating—organising and shaping and guiding—even beneath the build-up of scrape and texture.
