Working within the format of the video screen Paul Emmanuel uses paint in its simplest form. His compulsive real-time animation of paint on camera puts modernist ideals of paint in a context of attention disorders. Using time, sound and volume the paintings are displacements of paint from tubes, pots or tubs bought from art stores: The action of formalized methods and techniques of painting play with place and context to re-think accepted norms and structures of cultural transmission and reception.
