The first comprehensive monograph dedicated to the Romanian-born artist Paul Neagu (1938–2004), who lived in London from 1971 to his death.

It explores his manifold artistic practice which includes performance, sculpture, exhibition display, drawing, painting, video, photography, and poetry, within an original, holistic, metaphysical view on art. His aim was to develop a visual idiom that would be understood across cultures, but the demands and investigations of which are complex.

Published with The Paul Neagu Estate (UK) on the occasion of the artist’s touring retrospective in 2022–2023.

Mungo Thomson’s wide-ranging, multi-media work approaches mass culture and everyday perceptual experience through a lens of deep time and cosmic scale, implicating the spaces of production and exhibition in ever-widening extrapolations.

Spanning his entire oeuvre, this first comprehensive monograph focuses in particular on the artist’s three main series that embody his exploration of popular culture and everyday objects to question what we most take for granted, or fail to notice.

The Process of Painting

With this publication, American artist Dan Walsh allows the reader to enter his studio and follow his idiosyncratic artistic process.

By showing the different stages that a group of 12 recent works (2019–2022) navigated, he generously offers an insight into how a painting is built, how colours and forms merge together, how photography is a precious tool for painterly thinking, and how composition and structure are organic processes even if the result in his case is fundamentally geometrical and grid-based.

In his essay entitled ‘Ways of Seeing/Ways of Seeking,’ New York-based art critic and curator Bob Nickas, a long-time connoisseur of Walsh’s practice, traces the genealogy of such an unveiling of the painting process, from legendary examples like Willem de Kooning’s ‘Woman 1’ (1950–1952) to Walsh’s contemporaries.
