An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico - Paintings

The series of paintings by Dexter Dalwood that form <i>An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico</i> arose from a residency in Mexico in 2017, and discussions with the local community and secondary school students Oaxaca state. The paintings have been constructed in order to raise questions in the viewer’s mind: What is the history that is being depicted? Who does this history belong to? Is it possible for an artist that is not from one culture to make images that are specifically about another culture?<br>This item contains images of the paintings in the series.<br><br><b>Courtesy of the artist and Simon Lee Gallery</b><b>Photos: Ben Westoby</b><b>Used with permission. </b><br><b>List of paintings in the series:</b><br>Wall, 2017 Oil on Canvas130 x 97 cm (51 1/8 x 38 1/4 in.)<br>An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico I, 2017Oil and acrylic on canvas, 150 x 186 (59 x 73 1/2 in.)<br>An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico II, 2017 Acrylic on canvas130 x 97 cm (51 1/8 x 38 1/4 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico III, 2018 Oil, acrylic and book pages on canvas150 x 202 cm (59 1/8 x 79 1/2 in.)<br>An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico IV, 2018 Book pages, acrylic and oil on canvas150 x 202 cm (59 1/8 x 79 1/2 in.)<br>An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico V, 2018 Oil on canvas100 x 92 cm (39 3/8 x 36 1/4 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico VI, 2018 Oil on canvas30 x 24 cm (11 3/4 x 9 1/2 in.<br> 00:43, 2018Oil and chalk on canvas124 x 101 cm (48 7/8 x 39 3/4 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico VII, 2018 Oil and acrylic on canvas150 x 186 cm (59 x 73 1/2 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico VIII, 2019 Oil on canvas162 x 130 cm (63 3/4 x 51 1/8 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico IX, 2020 Oil on canvas230 x 350 cm (94 1/8 x 137 3/4 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico X, 2020 Oil on canvas150 x 186 cm (59 1/8 x 73 1/4 in.)<br>An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico XI, 2020 Oil on canvas31.5 x 31.5 cm (12 3/8 x 12 3/8 in.)<br> An Inadequate Painted History of Mexico XII, 2020 Oil on canvas30 x 24 cm (11 3/4 x 9 1/2 in.)<br> Precaucion 2020 Oil on Canvas 45 x 61 cm (17 3/4 x 24 1/8 in.)<br> 1968, 2020Oil on canvas150 x 202 cm (59 1/8 x 79 1/2 in.)<br>1994, 2020Oil on canvas124.5 x 101 cm (49 1/8 x 39 3/4 in.)<br>All Images: Courtesy of the artist and Simon Lee GalleryPhoto: Ben WestobyUsed with permission.<br><b>This work</b><b> is under copyright and may not be used without permission.
