Research Summary
Andrew Stahl's paintings approach cultural differences and connections using pictorial language, imagination and figuration. Images become vehicles to carry painterly experimentation. Much of his work reflects on travels to Japan and Thailand and addresses the conflation of time, space and cultures that long-haul travel brings. This has been underpinned by a series of residencies in Thailand, plus residencies in Australia (Sydney) and China (Guangzhou).
Recent solo shows include Robert Steele Gallery, New York and Matthew Bown Gallery, London, 2007; Anywhere Anytime Anyhow, Ardel Gallery Bangkok 2009 and New Paintings, Robert Steele Gallery, New York, 2010.
Group shows include the British Council show Monologue/Dialogue featuring artists from the UK and Thailand, Part 1 in Bangkok, 2006 and Part 2 in London, 2008; Stew, Artspace, London, 2008; Same as it ever was, University of the Arts, London, 2008; Painting of the 80s, Matthew Bown Gallerie, Berlin, 2009 and Select, Peppercannister Gallery, Dublin, 2010.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST Curated by Brian Curtin
2012H GALLERY BANGKOK, 201 SATHORN SOI 12, BANGKOK, THAILAND
This exhibition was a 3 person exhibition curated by Brian Curtin at H Gallery Bangkok, Thailand The artists were Andrew Stahl, Thaiwijit Phuengkasemsomboon and Sujin Wattanawongchai. H Gallery is very pleased to announce a 2-part exhibition that excites tensions and antagonisms for considerations of what contemporary painting practice is and does. Moving outward from purportedly traditional notions of painterly craft to vacillations between the intimate and the vulgar, the observed and the cerebral, art historical preoccupations and thoroughly contemporary experiments, Conflicts of Interest seeks to highlight divisions rather than resolve them. This disunifying theme inquires into how, for example, the rhetoric of authentic expression can be reinvigorated by juxtaposition with the slapdash and ironic, without the latter losing potency. Further, painting’s vexed relationships to visual and material culture at large are acknowledged; between text and image; the streamlined and the visceral; the appropriated and the invented; the assimilated and disruptive; and form and formlessness. Conflicts of Interest essentially takes a skewed look at conservative understandings of painterly methods and forms in order to provoke radical relationships and fresh perceptions.
