This exhibition catalog celebrates British artist Robert Holyhead's precise application and removal of paint, his colorful abstract forms and complex compositions. Full-page illustrations of each of the eight paintings from 2010 are accompanied by detailed photographs of the edge of the paintings and places where the paint has been wiped away. Includes a conversation between the artist and Anthony Spira, director of the Milton Keynes Gallery, in which Holyhead says, "I pick up on things that are a little bit peculiar and that exist awkwardly in the world, that are already abstract ...My painting presents both a type of personal language and some familiarity with the world." With several full-color installation views.
