Douglas Gordon’s new paintings utilize acetone printing to transfer provocative softcore images from early 1960s issues of Playboy magazine onto burnt, unlevelled, and asymmetrical canvases marked by biomorphic drips of wax, acrylic paint, and unknown liquids. The transfers dilute the visibility and definition of the images to the point they become a semi-transparent superfluous tissue evaporating through the interlaced threads of the canvas that both consumes and materializes them.
'Belongs to…' is part of Douglas Gordon's solo show 'Paradise', currently on view at Dvir Gallery Brussels.
