Missing – a suite of paintings realised at the residency – is representative of the change that occurred during the time. With this body of work the artist embraced photorealism. The simulations resembled the original to a startling degree and prompted readings, which were contrary to what was intended, thus displacing the meaning without significantly altering the appearance.
His solo exhibitions include Each One Teach One, Jack Shainman Gallery, New York, 2007; Vision Unlimited, Grosvenor Gallery, London, 200 Shibu Natesan | Gallery Dotwalk SUPUK
