Paul Winstanley's painting is photographic: he works from existing images that he reframes. These anonymous places (corridors, conference rooms), reminiscent of a particular situation, invite the "viewer" to enter them and project personal narratives.
The works are then like mental images with a double meaning: each painting is itself a memory of something seen, and this situation does not represent the event but a transitory moment, a period of waiting.
The impression of emptiness is distressing and even if the series of veils is different because it insists on a particular element of the decor, the white light remains a vehicle of coldness. No human presence, we feel like in an in-between time.
