Taste its cultural corollaries, its political over- and undertones, and most importantly its social sources is one of Rees's preferred problems. And where it is addressed most directly and unapologetically that is to say, in the so-called Artex paintings is exactly where his work becomes most willingly, egregiousl ?problematic.00Exhibition: Nomas Foundation, Rome, Italy (15.03.-10.06.2016).
