Still Action Paintings

Painting of a videostill a man falls in the garden.

 

Each painting shows a still taken from an action scene on television. The picture shown is a ‘fixed movement’ image. The title is a double entendre. ‘Still’ can be understood as ‘continuing’, so the action continues. The word is a noun too, meaning ‘motionless picture’: the painting shows a frozen action shot.
