Victor Man’s Untitled work is a small oil painting on wood. It shows a dark, strange looking shape which seems utterly alien, yet at the same time somehow familiar. Man is interested in the position of painting in art history. He works with images taken from the media. The images are selected not by its contents or meaning but by its abstract form. They are emptied of its story or social context. Grouped in two’s the works function as duets in which each single piece, when linked together, receives a new sense or turbulence. The accretion and juxtaposition of images, which have initially been meaningless, creates the narrative.
