Throwell’s Panic in the Chalk Cave paintings begin with film stills from 'Time Stau'. The eight richly constructed works combine photographic images, silkscreen, and layers of oil paint. The brusque strokes convey a sense of urgency, the impasto of titanium white slashing across the canvas. The process both reveals and obscures, reflecting the exhilarating highs and crushing lows of the secretive lives hidden from the prying eyes of parents, friends, and the public. Throwell’s painting process is as much reduction as addition –
as John Cage said:
“Every something is an echo of nothing”.
