Research Summary
My research focuses on contemporary art and painting in particular. Painting has a special fascination for me as it is so un-sensational –just mud on a surface. My recent research concerns the implications and the potential offered by the transcultural and globalisation for contemporary art. I believe art can be a complex and rich soup of different histories and traditions and the time we live in enables intercultural interaction and the creation of new discourses and germinations.
I see international engagement as a vital part of contemporary practice. I have participated frequently in artists residencies at the invitation of the British Council and universities in China, Thailand, Australia and Sri Lanka, which have enabled me to consider and view different approaches to contemporary art. Below is an excerpt of what I recently wrote about a painting 'The Death of Trotsky' (see image below) that I exhibited in a group show in the BACC museum in Bangkok, Thailand of Thai and British artists that I curated called 'MD3: 'Fragility and Monumentality'. ' The Death of Trotsky' draws on multi-layered symbolic meanings. …. In this painting the snake is the assassin and both sudden death and desire. Desire, the physical and the intellect are often in a kind of dance and struggle. Though the painting provides this image from a distance, as you move closer to the painting small images are revealed. These little items do not add up to a story, they are mind wanderings, a collection of flowing thoughts floating across the surfaces, perhaps influenced by Chinese scrolls. I collect things such as green trees from Japanese noodle packets, items of decoration, images and body parts.
I am interested in how figurative painting can use symbolism and can involve the surrealist idea of 'The Marvellous'
Exhibitions
AP3 Falling
2017Ardel Third Place Gallery, Thonglor Soi10, Bangkok 10110, Thailand
Two Person exhibition with Thai 'National Artist' Panya Vijinthanasarn: AP3 Falling Sitting in an unusually hot steamy London this July thinking about my forthcoming exhibition with Panya in an even hotter Bangkok, dreaming of that sparkling city and its intensity- a dream lying ahead. Bangkok’s sparkling green lights, red lights, orange lights, a futuristic city bending around the river, fragments remembered: enormous golden and beautiful fading Buddhas, pagodas and boats on the flowing river. Justin’s music from the dark mysterious Smalls emerges. I am sitting listening to other exquisite music - Wax Tailors version of ‘Que Sera’ while considering the title of show AP3 Falling I dream of falling, of feeling weightless, floating down, flowing over the edge, flowing air all around as I dream into a floating mode. I float down the Chao Phraya River discovering new and wonderful remnants, glimpses of the old and new world passing by. Going deeper down, entering the magic unknown - there’s so much we don’t understand, but just like the title of the song ‘What will be, will be’ This exhibition is the third joint exhibition of Andrew and Panya, coming from different cultural perspectives the exhibition highlights their interest in the transcultural with both differences and synergies. In Panya Vijinthanasarn’s spiritual paintings he sometimes refers to fragments and memories of the past, exquisitely beautiful with hidden surprises. His paintings contain a secret and magical archetypal symbolism that is enhanced by their materiality. Andrew Stahl’s paintings also refer to past experience from Rome to Bangkok. These also symbolic paintings borrow gravity allowing the paint with its materiality to fall and naturally flow, thoughts appear and memories and expressive gestures conflict and encourage the pull of gravity. When we fall we lose stability and enter the unknown - the words from the song emerges – ‘Everyone I have something to tell you – the moment we have been waiting for is here …..Despite the instability of the era we live in ‘I believe in the future’. Falling and dreaming……… Andrew Stahl 16th July 2017
Monologue Dialogue 4, Mysticism & Insecurity.
2017Koppel Project, 93 Baker Street, London W1U 6RKL
The Monologue Dialogue series has grown from a British Council initiated and funded residency and exhibition in Bangkok, Thailand. From then onwards a series of exhibitions have taken place in Bangkok and London with an evolving and expanding group of participating artists. The last exhibition was in 2014 at the BACC (the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre). The key focus for the artists has been to install or construct work in a space/gallery together and in some way to reflect on the transcultural nature of today’s discourse for artists. Opening on the 3rd of May 2017 at the Koppel Project Baker Street, MD4 continued with an expanded number of participating artists from Thailand, the UK, Bangladesh, China, and Japan. The participating artists were: Eric Bainbridge, Rana Begum, Tintin Cooper, Yvonne Feng, Miranda Housden, Neil Jeffries, Sansern Milindasuta, Atsuko Nakamura, Nipan Oranniwesna, Be Takerng Pattanopas, Tuksina Pipitkul, Nathaniel Rackowe, Andrew Stahl, Kai Syng Tan, Jedsada Tangtrakulwong, and Panya Vijinthanasarn. The exhibition was curated by Andrew Stahl, The title of the exhibition Mysticism and Insecurity can refer to perceptions of the mystical and magical nature of human life across all cultures; insecurity however can refer to the inability of art to fully express and realise these transcendent ideas for multiple reasons, primarily though because of the world’s materiality, because of materials being resistant, dragging against intentions even for the use of language, and symbolism. This resistance is what is most ecstatic and interesting, where the material itself whether it is paint, objects, performance or virtual media contains the magic and frailty of our existence by being resistant to manipulation. The one thing that unites us all is our materiality and a sense of ‘is-ness’. The exhibition was supported by UCL Global Engagement and the Thai Embassy in honour of King Bhumibol Adulyadej Rama IX.
Hot Summer by the Khlong
2017YenakartVilla,69 Soi Prasat Suk, Yen Akat Road, Kwaeng Chongnonsee, Khet Yannawa, Bangkok
A visit by Andrew Stahl to Thailand in the 80’s as part of a British Council show initiated a fascination with Thailand. A number of artists’ residencies and exhibitions have followed in the intervening years. Andrew Stahl exhibition at YenakArt Villa: Hot Summer by the Klong exhibits his paintings made during a recent residency near Bangkok’s Chinatown where he spent a large part of the summer 2016. The paintings reflect on the experience, memories and thoughts of this time spent working intensely through the heat and travelling to the sea. They also reflect on a journey to Rome just before the summer, which revived his fascination with fountains as a source of surprise and joy. These paintings have a new fluidity and flow. Momentary visions, thoughts, memories and imaginations coalesce into a whirlwind of fragments held together by an overriding sense of euphoria at the beautiful country of Thailand. The intense energy of the city acts as a contrast to the expanse of blue that fills the horizons of the vision in the islands dipped in the sea. The exhibition consisted of both large and small works, drawings and a number of sculptures including one made on the lawn in the architecture garden of the gallery.

Starter
2014L'Escargot, 48 GHreek Street, London W1D 4EF
This was one of two group exhibitions that I organised at L' Escargot restaurant at the invitation of the restaurant manager Brian Clivaz. This restaurant has a well known history of staging art exhibitions in a public engaged space. The accompanying text was: This new exhibition ‘Starter’ of mainly paintings and wall works placed in the main dining area is the first of a variety of diverse exhibitions planned for L’Escargot in Soho. These artists here are chosen for their diversity and the discussion they bring to their field. The artists exhibiting both in this show and in future shows over the next few months in this new cultural hub are celebrated; some have immense experience and some however brilliant are just beginning their voyage of discovery. All however represent a tasty discussion about the possibilities that face artists making contemporary art today. A restaurant is a place of consumption. These works need to be consumed, savoured, chewed and swallowed. Some of the works may be annoying, some may fail, some may be awkward and hard to swallow, some will be exquisite, finely flavoured and full of delicacy and joy. They are all however operating at the highest level and variously engage with the exotic, the cerebral, the romantic, the emotional, the symbolic and the abstract. The show is organised by Andrew Stahl. The artists include: Phil Allen, David Burrows, Kate Bright, Jeffrey Camp, Alan Chan, Susan Collins, Dan Coombs, Graham Crowley, Jeff Dennis, Yvonne Feng, Marcela Florido, Neil Jeffries, Brighid Lowe, Alastair Mackinven, Mali Morris, Michael Page, Andrew Stahl, Mike Silva, James Robertson and Sean Steadman

(2014) MD3 Fragility and Monumentality
2014Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre (BACC)
I am curating this exhibition - one of the largest exhibitions yet of Thai and UK art at the Bangkok Art and Cultural Centre, the main public art gallery in Thailand. I personally will only have 2 pieces (one 6-metre wide painting) but in the show there will be a large quantity of work from the 12 UK and Thai artists in the 1200 sq metres space on the 9th floor. MD3 Fragility and Monumentality This exhibition Monologue Dialogue 3 continues an important conversation initiated 8 years ago in Thailand supported by the British Council resulting in exhibitions of a group of British and Thai artists in both Bangkok and London. The group of artists participating in this third exhibition has evolved organically to include new artists that are interested in this kind of diverse, international and unpredictable dialogue. The key words here are fragility and monumentality. This show illustrates nothing. It is not an illustration of a theory or concept; it embraces the poetic and uncertainty will sometimes surface. The artists will interact, fabricate, assemble, paint and construct this show – we expect an electric conversation with excitement and perhaps even failure. Failure and nothingness are key words in art and ones that can be embraced resulting in fragility and a vision that is unexpected. Monumentality is about presence, and can be about the awkwardness of being. Tuksina Pipitkul will surprise us with her large white sculpture, a new version of ‘Respond’ that holds the space; the complexity of Tintin Cooper’s pavilions provide a cross between sports stadiums and modern shrines; Nipan Oranniwesna is planning a new and ambitious installation especially for the exhibition; Neil Jeffries is making a series of small wall relief works situated somewhere between painting and sculpture; Nathaniel Rackowe will make sculptural neon installations with a strong sense of the urban; Miranda Housden will play with the unexpected attempting to suspend a giant chandelier from the ceiling; Panya Vijinthanasarn has made a very large painting touching on chaos and unpredictability, playing with the words nuclear and new clear and an image of the Buddha; Jedsada Tangtrakuwong will create a surprising and monumental site-specific installation integrating (or not) with the architectural structures in the space; Eric Bainbridge will arrive with The Ghost of Jimmy the Nail and will make a sculpture in situ; Be Takerng Pattanopas will install a 20-metre-wide new edition of gas-p which will include sound elements and comprise of two long tapered tunnels, leading to mysterious luminous counter-forms of human figures; Atsuko Nakamura will make a new sculptural installation, scavenging for wood and natural materials such as driftwood, salt, sugar, and water and will make a video; Andrew Stahl will include a large painting, The Death of Trotsky. This exhibition on the entire 9th floor of the BACC provides a nervous platform for an extraordinary conversation that will develop between the artists participating and their artworks. There will be a dynamic range of installations, sculptures and paintings from this extremely diverse group of artists that touch on a range of contemporary issues such as the transcultural language of art, spectacular painting and installation and artistic dialogue. The Artists: Andrew Stahl/ Atsuko Nakamura/ Be Takerng Pattanopas/ Eric Bainbridge/ Jedsada Tangtrakuwong/ Panya Vijinthanasarn/ Miranda Housden/ Nathaniel Rackowe/ Neil Jeff

(2012) CONFLICTS OF INTEREST curated by Brian Curtin
2012H Gallery, 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. The show 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.

Review of exhibition 'Hot Summer by the Khlong' at YenakArt Villa, Bangkok, Thailand, in guru in the Bangkok Post
Review of exhibition 'Hot Summer by the Khlong' at YenakArt Villa, Bangkok, Thailand,
Review of Andrew Stahl, Hot Summer by the Khlong at Yenakart Villa http://www.aluxurytravelblog.com/2017/06/14/5-of-the-best-art-and-architecture-stops-in-bangkok-thailand/
A brief mention in this online guide as follows: YenakArt Villa Another addition to Bangkok’s contemporary art scene in 2015 was the YenakArt Villa, also located in the fashionable Sathorn district. Founded by French entrepreneurs Frederic Meyer and Jeremy Opritesco, the gallery is housed in a sleek ‘Bauhaus’ style villa with a grand glass facade and sprawling sculpture garden. The villa hosts a wide range of visual exhibitions, from painting to light-art to fashion shows. Whilst the gallery focuses on promoting Thai artists to global audience, it also features international artists for several-week periods. In April and May of this year, the works of British painter Andrew Stahl – Professor of Fine Art at the renowned Slade School of Fine Art, London – were presented in the exhibition ‘Hot Summer by the Klong’; the pieces were influenced by Stahl’s visits to Thailand since the 1980s. From late October until early 2018, the gallery will host Thai artist Jirapat Tatsanasomboon, who is recognised for his marrying of traditional Asian imagery and Western pop culture.
