The Artist

Tadhg Slater

Slater's work develops through successive bodies of painting, each pushing against the limits of the last. Rooted in the New York School tradition, the work is built through scale, surface, and sustained physical engagement. Oil on linen and canvas. Prepared grounds. Painting that carries its own weight without explanation.

The practice is formal and relentless. A refusal to stop at the familiar. A willingness to break what has been built and begin again.

Concrete Winter (2026)

Thirteen paintings produced in an unheated studio on the Provincetown waterfront during the winter of 2025–2026.

A shift in structure and surface. A break from previous work. The beginning of a new direction.
