Abstraction and representation are usually seen as opposite poles in the world of art but artists have begun to blur the distinctions. This publication documents an exhibition of the work of five contemporary painters who all work in an energized zone that hovers between representation and pure abstraction. They are from different generations, and have different sources and influences but all are linked by their interest in creating painting that is laden with existential content, imagery and meaning. The approaches that each painter takes to his or her work is detailed in an the essay. The artists are: Pierre Coupey, Landon MacKenzie, Martin Pearce, Bernadette Phan and Bryan Riley
