Description: Ichael Simpson, Flat Surface Painting is the first comprehensive catalogue of the artist's work to date. Rooted in a fascination with fifteenth century Venetian and early Flemish Painting, and inflected by the formal restraint and reduced palette of Minimalism, Simpson had developed a distinctive, darkly comedic artistic vocabulary with which to create works that move beyond their subject matter to question the nature of painting itself. 00Exhibition: Spike Island, Bristol, England (16.01.2016-27.03-2016).
