NO LONG TERM (the last paintings)
A conversation
Pick Seth: Looking across NO LONG TERM, the first thing that strikes me is accumulation. Figures, fragments, bodies—everything seems to gather, compress, pile into the same space. It made me think immediately of Guston’s piles.
Seth Pick: Yes, I’ve thought about that too. Though I don’t think of them as piles exactly—more as pressure. Things accumulate because they don’t resolve. They don’t disappear once they’ve been painted. They stay and force the painting to reorganize around them. Guston’s piles are important because they’re both absurd and serious at the same time. A pile of shoes can feel almost cartoonish until you realise what it might imply. That ambiguity is key. In my paintings, the images don’t cancel each other out. They coexist, even if they contradict each other.
PS: There’s a strong sense that these paintings resist narrative. They hint at situations—violence, intimacy, collapse—but they don’t quite settle into a story.
