About The Work
Thuring’s new edition for Chisenhale Gallery, Snake Wall, 2018, comprises a silhouette of a submarine, hand painted by the artist onto a bespoke woven fabric. The brick design of the cloth is a digital reworking by Thuring of an earlier painting, Brick Lady (2013) reconstructed on a loom. With image built into the surface before paint is added, the fabric wraps around the stretchers’ edge, further acknowledging the edition’s three-dimensional presence. The submarine is disruptive and mysterious, alluding to what is beyond but can’t fully be seen or understood. As such, Snake Wall becomes an incomplete story, with an enigmatic logic.
