    The embarrassment of sincerity: the changing state of contemporary figurative painting
    Chandler, Celeste Helene ( 2014)
    This practice led PhD is concerned with the problems and possibilities of figurative painting. It examines questions of perception and interpretation and interrogates agency and affect in figuration. The thesis comprises an exhibition exploring empathy and a dissertation considering the limitations of the conceptual model and in what other terms painting might be viewed. Considering formal painting language and research linking emotion, sensation and perception, new possibilities in making and viewing are revealed. This comprises the research’s original contribution.
