The long awaited ‘death of painting’ is an unrealistic expectation. The study of non-verbal languages dates back to Charles Darwin, and scientists have repeatedly weighted in since. Kevin Zeng Hu at MIT Media Lab writes “we all know how unwieldy texting can be and how much context can be lost, especially emotional context. Once you make it visual, you have a higher bandwidth to convey nuance.” Painting cannot die anymore than literature; both offer different kinds of notations in use since the dawn of recorded time.
As a result, painting returns from exile and explain itself to the postmodern audience. These large cardboard paintings squint at cultural beliefs. These paintings comment on navigating a cultural system, on how to address hidden authoritarian structures, institutional devices, and power imbalances. We appreciate the visual grammar, and witness how art keeps up with politics These paintings not only let us to see the world differently, they call our attention to how we feel about it.

Les secrets de l’école d’art
Les grandes peintures en carton de Legrady questionnent les croyances culturelles et les vues actuelles de l’art.Ils parlent aussi de l’artiste naviguant le système culturel, et comment ils abordent les structures autoritaires cachées, les dispositifs institutionnels et les déséquilibres de pouvoir.Non seulement ces peintures nous permettent de voir le monde différemment, mais aussi ils attirent notre attention vers ce que nous ressentons à ce sujet.
