"In 2003 I was invited by the British realist artist Clive Head to submit work for an exhibition entitled ‘Exactitude’ at the then PlusOne PlusTwo gallery in London. Head had curated the exhibition with a view to present a survey of contemporary realist practice, both painting and sculpture, within the UK at the time.
Including both established and emerging artists the show displayed a diverse range of approaches. What connected them however was a commitment to a precise and exacting vision of the world. Historical influences were abundant and wide ranging, from the American Precisionists of the 1920s, to the German Neue Sachlichkeit movement and more recently the Photorealism of the 1970s. Head was keen to foster an environment and dialogue where forward thinking realist art could flourish. The goal was for artists to build on the past and develop new and dynamic realist languages.
‘Exactitude’ served as a catalyst for a new generation of artists concerned with making work which engages directly with the visible world. Since 2003 realist painting has become more popular and more visible particularly within the United Kingdom. Whilst many artists have become dependent on pre-established working practices others have recognised the need to forge ahead and develop new visual languages. The results of this progressive approach may be enjoyed and explored in this new exhibition. Each artist displays a firm commitment to the development of their practice, both intellectually and practically, resulting in a series of extraordinary paintings." - Nathan Walsh
