Bartell’s current practice is organised around the question of what selects what becomes visible. Her paintings reconfigure the tradition of landscape through the lens of perception. Rather than depicting place, they operate as records of perceptual emergence. Through layering and controlled erasure, multiple spatial and tonal possibilities coexist within a single field, allowing certain forms to assert themselves while others remain latent or partially visible. Painting functions here as a site of selection rather than representation. Visibility is produced through structure, material process, and duration, rather than through narrative or image-based intention. Each work is resolved through the attainment of internal coherence, determined not by compositional closure but by a state in which no further intervention is required.
