Cinematic Visions at Victoria Miro features heavyweights Peter Doig, Luc Tuymans, Yayoi Kusama, and Chris Ofili alongside newer artists making their mark now.

The exhibition centres around the relationship between painting and film and how they have inexplicably influenced one another over the years in image making, possibly even more now during this period of feverishly updated technology and social media.

Traditional portraiture methods are explored with the use of new technologies and abstracted to let the viewer put the pieces together – Chantal Joffe’s painting Jessica, a portrait of the actress Jessica Chastain, was directed and posed for via Skype. Painting becomes a tool to linger and engage with time, instead of the fleeting moment of film.

On now until the 3rd August at the Victoria Miro Gallery in London.
