“The metaphor of the journey can be closely associated with the process of painting: a displacement in which the point of departure is known, but not the point of arrival.”

This apt description of discovery was written by Esmeralda Gòmez Galera to accompany Callum Green’s exquisite exhibition ‘Pleasure Loops’ at Galeria Reus in Palma de Mallorca. On view through September 1, this is Green’s biggest exhibition to date and his first with the gallery.

“Meaning emerges, if it does at all, within the process itself, through traces, interruptions, and detours that gradually compose the surface of the canvas.”

Callum Green’s exhibition ‘Pleasure Loops’ is on view at Galeria Reus through September 1. The show itself is beautiful, as is the accompanying text by Esmeralda Gómez Galera.

What we cover:
• Removing the artist’s hand from the work
