Superimposition: Paul Morrison, Barry Reigate, Michael Stubbs and Mark Titchner

Superimposition, a group show featuring four leading contemporary British artists, opens at Partners & Mucciaccia London gallery on June 15. Paul Morrison, Barry Reigate, Michael Stubbs and Mark Titchner are united by an awareness of the rich tradition of painting in Britain and beyond. 

The exhibition takes its title from the concept of superimposition. Derived from the Latin word superimponere, meaning “to place over” or “to place above”, it is mostly associated with the world of graphics, when one image is layered on top of another to partially or totally cover the previous one, sometimes using different materials. Superimposition is a process based intervention; one layered or mapped act follows the previous one to reveal the final composition.

All four of the artists in this exhibition are finding expanded ways to embrace superimposition using the medium of paint.
