Reused + Reimagined | Max Presneill |

Fresh from curating one of the most stand out exhibitions of 2016, Grafforists at the Torrance Art Museum in California, Presneill's work embraces the ideology of mark making and the human impulse to create an pictorial identity of sorts that remains once the individual has passed on.

In his new body of work titled The Recycled Series, Presneill is recycling, reusing and reinventing a group of older, discarded paintings that have been left on the studio floor to accumulate dirt, marks, paint spills and other inciental marks that are then used as the foundation of a new composition.

The paintings are super fresh and reflect a growing consciousness of sustainability where apparent waste is reimagined and invigorated with new life.
