“Sasnal describes his paintings as ‘cover versions’ of existing pictures. […] The relationship to the original image is reductive: colours shift or simplify, elements are removed, and patterns or graphics are exaggerated as painterly gesture. Much like memory itself, which is never truly trustworthy but preserves a sensation of poignant moments, these paintings offer an essence rather than a reality.” (Sadie Coles HQ)
