Additional Information

The intensely vivid black and white ground to this work - mottled, marbled, dripped and dragged oil and acrylic paint – seems to shift and move beneath the bold coloured spots dotted unevenlythroughout the painting. Rae described it as a painting without fixed certainties – ‘The title might suggest a TV hospital drama, a more general state of anxiety or something else altogether. The black and white marks seem to form and reform themselves like the T1000 terminator in Terminator 2. This gives a sense of unease; it’s as if the very fabric of the painting could also be its undoing.’
