Exit Paintings explores the residual trace of human presence in an era increasingly defined by virtuality and digital immersion. In this series, Wall investigates the liminal space between material embodiment and disembodied experience, offering a visual language for post-physical subjectivity. The forms, reduced to gestural outlines and abstracted silhouettes, function as symbolic husks — emptied vessels that mark a moment of transition. These works operate within a conceptual framework informed by post-digital condition and contemporary myth-making, wherein identity and presence are mediated through screens, code, and simulated environments. The surface treatments — textured, tactile, and monochromatic — serve as both a record and a rupture: the paintings suggest fossilised imprints of figures that have exited the tangible world, leaving behind only the signifiers of their former coherence. Wall’s practice foregrounds the tension between permanence and impermanence, presence and absence. Exit Paintings articulates a speculative archaeology of the near-present — a cultural condition in which the corporeal is increasingly abstracted, and the boundaries of self are continually redefined through technological interface.
