Terence Koh’s Untitled (C45) reconsiders painting as the ultimate expression of intimacy. Reminiscent of Andy Warhol’s piss paintings and De Kooning’s violently painted sex symbols, Koh approaches his canvas with the passion of an S&M lover. Marred with brutal puncture holes, and splattered with beer and urine, Untitled (C45) bears the marks of both abjection and arousal. In its battered form, Untitled (C45) exudes a disquieting beauty, merging the territories of cruelty and seduction.
