Cai Guo-Qiang: In Search of El Greco

Saul Nelson, Ruskin School of Art, DPhil Candidate, gives the sixth presentation in the symposium. The talk will be considering Cai's work of that title in the exhibition in the light of affinities between his work and El Greco's, arguing that both artists pursue painting as a medium that captures the invisible. Saul Nelson is a third-year DPhil candidate at the Ruskin School of Art in Oxford. Saul works on post- war modernist art, with an emphasis on migration, and his work has been published in The Oxford Art Journal and The London Review of Books.
