| alistair magee | |
| Alistair Magee is a painter originally from Scotland now living in Toronto. In this show of recent paintings Magee employs repetitive stencilling as a grid to support expressive brushwork. In these works found objects and personal memorabilia ally to reinforce the richness of ordinary urban experience. A preoccupation with history and politics underpins these paintings whilst Magee attempts to unmoor language to question its meaning and pull it back into the realm of abstraction |
