Mark Wallinger’s statue “Ecce Homo”, reproduced here on the cover, which stood upon the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square, is typical of his work in using apparently simple or traditional means to convey complex issues. His best known pieces focus on religion, contemporary spirituality and belief. Reproduced here are “Ghost”, “Tardis”, and a still from his recent film Third Generation (Ascher Family): a re-presented set of home movies that originate from Berlin’s Jewish Museum. Mark Wallinger exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 2001, and had a recent solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery.
Elizabeth Peyton is best known for her portraits, selecting her subjects from among both her friends and figures in the public eye. Ignoring the trappings of fame, she responds to details of her sitters’ private histories, and renders them in a personal and tender style. Reproduced here are “Nick reading Moby-Dick” (2003), “Orient” (2003), and “Spencer Drawing” (2000).
For the Whitechapel Pages we include three works from the group
exhibition, Edge of the Real – A Painting Show, curated by Iwona Blazwick (Director), and Anthony Spira (Curator). ArtLab are a collaborative team who make political paintings and installations from their studio in London’s East End. They are represented here by “Russian Shooter”, one of the eight paintings which form their work “… number cluster type”. George Shaw’s paintings take their subject matter from the housing estate and the countryside where he grew up; though the finished paintings are as much about what has been forgotten or lost, as they are about what he personally recalls. Reproduced here is Shaw’s image, “Scenes from the Passion: The Memorial”. Nigel Cooke paints vast, elaborate landscapes depicting abandoned buildings, severed heads, skulls and insects. In some works, as here, the picture plane is suffused in ultraviolet colours and edged with graffiti. His works are deeply informed by the work of the historical landscape painters, while maintaining a keenly contemporary sensibility.
