Monica Tap: Paintings
Nancy Tousley & Stuart Reid

Tap's large-scale canvases set up compelling dualities: historical/contemporary, abstract/representational and original/referential. While not a landscape painter, her work concerns itself with the history and convention of landscape painting. She manipulates the lines of her own drawings as well as those of other artists &endash; often seventeenth-century Dutch and Flemish artists - until she creates an abstract composting of history. Two essays examine the language of painting in the microscopic detail of Tap's own work.
