The exhibition includes several new works by Pratt, including a large sculptural work for the gallery’s entrance space. Pratt’s work indulges in the physical process of painting, combined with a direct examination of the cycle of assimilation that exists both within contemporary art and popular culture, as he borrows and ‘wrongfully’ appropriates from the artists who shaped the process before him. Through this method of sampling and remastering, Pratt combines stylistic quotation with deadpan observation and dumb mark-making, layering and obliterating his paintings until they are deemed at an end yet never resolved.
