Ian Grose’s Some Assumptions explored the language of painting

THE STORY, IN BRIEF

Ian Grose’s 2014 exhibition Some Assumptions at Stevenson Cape Town brought together patterned cloth, reworked religious imagery and repeated views of a studio window. ArtThrob’s reviewer praised his control of paint while describing an elusive, self-questioning practice. References to Renaissance altarpieces, Monet and abstraction became ways of asking how painters translate observation and inherited conventions into images.
