Caspar Fairhall, David George Ledger and Ian Williams explore shared interests in alternative perceptions of spatial qualities in the landscape and built environment, discussing the impact of contemporary digital culture on equal terms with reality. The curatorial premise of Plastic focuses on digital imagery within the broader ecology of spatial painting practice and the clean aesthetic concerns of the contemporary ‘picturesque’. The title, Plastic reflects the malleability of the artist’s hand in shaping reality, the fluidity of paint, and the flexibility of the artist to adapt to their environment and embrace digitisation. Drawing on the sculptural definition of the ‘plastic arts’, Plasticappropriates this term for the painter and their capacity to manipulate the physical world into a 2D substrate. Plastic brings together a body of works that reflect an ongoing investigation into the flexible role of remediated imagery in representing, simulating or creating realities. Unpacking the relationships between digital media and the physics of perception in painting Caspar Fairhall, David Ledger and Ian Williams demonstrate the integration of the real and virtual, discarding any distinction between fact and fiction.
