Description
This workshop explores painting as a perceptual practice informed by desire, memory, and the construction of scenes. Through small-scale formats, collage, drawing, and short writing prompts, participants experiment with color, surface, and composition as tactile languages. Painting is approached through haptic perception and attunement—touch, pressure, smudge, repetition, and layering—alongside narrative and poetic exercises that draw on personal memory, landscape, and fiction.
The workshop introduces artists working between painting, symbolism, queer world-building, and literature, including Etel Adnan, Bhupen Khakhar, Florine Stettheimer, Odilon Redon, and others, as points of reference for material experimentation, perceptual approaches, and scene construction. Emphasis is placed on process-based exploration rather than finished outcomes, making the workshop accessible to participants with varied levels of experience.
