"Edition of 1500"--Colophon.

Artists' book / exhibition catalogue published in conjunction with show held at Lisson Gallery, London, October 10 - November 17, 2007. Exhibition consistined of a "new body of work reflecting on the practice of painting. For Wet on Wet Graham adopted the eccentric persona of the 'gifted amateur,' a recurrent figure in his recent work. He presents 22 oils and one acrylic work in a variety of styles, placing painting in the context of a post-medium practice. The catalogue takes its title from a series of recent heavy impasto abstractions, also displayed as part of the exhibition. The paintings re-discover classical modernist tropes without obvious irony." --publisher's statement.
