The Stain Paintings 1971-80, Sydney Ball, Sullivan + Strumpf, 22 October – 16 November 2013
Referring to his Stain series Ball stated:
“I see it as a continuation of the early Cantos. I’ve never deviated from the original intentions of the early Cantos to what I’m doing now. For me, the whole problem of a painting is the importance of colour. Style for me is quite secondary. I think you can break across styles… like Hans Hofmann or Matisse or even Picasso. You can go through a number of ways of getting to that final painting; through the way in which you put on the paint, the physicality of putting it on, the process, the surface that’s attained. Its all of these things”.
