In this conversation American painter David Schutter and the author discuss key aspects of Schutter’s work.Schutter (born 1974), whose work makes reference to major European painting collections, explores in hiswork the relation to tradition and repetition of artistic conventions. His work, presented at Documenta 14(2017), often employs strategies of radical limitation of the colour scheme, and restriction of visibility, sometimesblackening out the image plane altogether. This raises questions about the detachment from the referentobject, self-reflexivity and the trope of unrepresentable in contemporary painting in the beginning of thetwenty-first century. The conversation will further focus on ways Schutter’s work transgresses from a narrowmimetic framework by mitigating in his paintings the difference between original and double and by employingdiminished clarity and ambiguity in his work.
