Following on from the bodies of work Enclave and Expatria (2016?18), Uncertain Swimmer develops the artist?s interest in modes of representation and the legacies of twentieth-century modernist painting through a visual and social exploration of the motif of the pool, depicting swimmers and sunbathers, often by night. Far from being an escapist environment of aspiration and privilege, Wateridge imbues the pool with a disquieting atmosphere, creating a cumulative feeling of unease and ennui among those present, now seemingly unsure of their world.0The publication charts a marked evolution in the artist?s style from the realism of his earlier paintings with complex multi-figure compositions to more solitary, gestural and expressive works. His masterly application of paint takes new forms in the beautiful, curious and often haunting paintings and works on paper showcased here. Art historian and curator Marco Livingstone?s essay considers the change from Wateridge?s naturalistic paintings to the flattened, reduced shapes, forms and lines of the modernism-and abstraction-infused pieces he is making today. Francis Bacon, Edvard Munch and Paul Cezanne are among numerous art historical influences cited by Livingstone, who ruminates on the identity of the people in Wateridge?s portraits and the mercurial spaces they occupy, examining how Wateridge?s current critical preoccupations have transitioned from the autobiographical to more formal concerns. 600 10 $a Wateridge, Jonathan, $d 1972- $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000500646546 600 17 $a Wateridge, Jonathan, $d 1972- $2 fast 700 1 $a Livingstone, Marco, $e author. 700 1 $a Walker, Caroline, $d 1982- $e author. 700 1 $a Price, Matt, $d 1976- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240417024639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A01BA950FC8011EE9ABF7B513DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
