The work shows a monitor in the gallery of a major German collection. With its dark rectangular shape, infused in a soft light, surrounded by off-white plinth and walls, the image appears near abstract. Andrew Grassie’s paintings are based on photographs the artist has taken himself or in some cases found. Often they have been elaborately staged, although this effort is veiled by the ostensibly unassuming matter-of-factness the small, precisely painted works exude.
