This is an incisive examination into the work of some of the most innovative contemporary artists working today. "Fresh Paint" showcases international artists whose approach to painting is particularly fresh and innovative in contemporary art. This book presents a discrete group of artists whose approach, style, or subject matter is as contemporary as any photography, video, or large-scale installation. It also features work that ultimately questions the means and media of painting, challenging the viewer to consider which factors contribute to making a painting fresh and contemporary today. The works range from the highly conceptual to the more formally oriented, and also touch upon the question of when a painting ceases (or starts) to be a painting. Although these artists are technically proficient at what they do, the significance of their work extends far beyond an ability to paint a pretty picture.
