Introduction
Andrew Grassie’s intimately-scaled paintings are based on photographs he has taken himself or that he, in some cases, has found. The ostensibly unassuming matter-of-factness of the samll, precisley painted works sometimes masks the often elaborately staged preparation of past projects and their conceptual ambition.

Still Frame
Andrew Grassie
Andrew Grassie's first solo exhibition with the gallery, entitled Still Frame included twentey four new paintings. Both title and number of paintings obliquely acknowledge the conceptual affinity to cinematic story-telling that informs the new body of work: 24 frames per second is the standard ratio in film to create the illusion of seamless movement in human vision.
Known for small, precisely painted works—their ostensibly unassuming matter-of-factness sometimes masking the often elaborately staged preparation of past projects and their conceptual ambition—with Still Frame Grassie continues longstanding interests into the status of the image, the nature of memory and contemporary painting.
