Catalogue to accompany Counterfacture, a group exhibition of two and three dimensional works by four young British artists. These works subvert traditional process by using complex methods and materials to create sculptures and paintings that give illusory impressions of simple materials. These highly finished and process oriented works contrast the quotidian and basic materials, such as I-beams, paper, tape, and cardboard referenced in their forms. These artists explore the cognitive means through which we recognize reality, thereby focusing our attention on deciphering the process by which the works were created as well as their peripheral assumptions.
