mixed media with oil and wood on treated canvas signed, titled and dated on the reverse stretcher bar 42 x 60 1/2 x 4 1/4 in., 107 x 154 x 10.5 cm Seeking to lay down a challenge to the 'anti-painting' sympathies of the 1970s and the prominence of conceptual and performance art of that decade, Buckley is renowned for a style of painting which seemed to desconscruct the canvas and rebuild it as a wall-based sculpture instead. A taciturn and publicity-shy artist, he rarely gave explanantions for his works, preferring to use Frank Stella's mantra "what you see is what you see" as a ubiquitous reply.
