Where these paintings were made — No heat. No water. No bathrooms.
The Story
No heat. No water. Windowless concrete walls. Paint freezing on the palette.
This is where these eleven paintings were created. Through the harshest months of 2026, working in a windowless concrete box on the water. No heating system. No running water. Just raw conditions and total commitment.
The frozen studio is not romantic. It's visceral. The conditions are part of the work. Every painting in this series carries the weight of that environment.

The Artist
Tadhg Slater is a painter working in large-scale abstraction and figurative cubism. He maintains a year-round studio in Provincetown, Massachusetts.
His practice centers on work created in an unheated concrete studio on the Provincetown waterfront — a site of sustained physical and creative discipline. The Concrete Winter series comprises eleven paintings completed through the winter of 2026.
Slater has been awarded a dune shack residency for May 2026 — a historical site associated with the New York School painters who worked in Provincetown.
Dune Shack Residency
May 9–16, 2026
In the tradition of Jackson Pollock, Robert Motherwell, and Hans Hofmann — artists who came to Provincetown to work with total commitment. The dune shacks have no electricity, no running water.
