Episode is part of the first Back Catalogue series of six large scale (up to six meters wide) paintings. The Back Catalogue is a review of both significant personal memories and significant events in painting that have come into my life through education and exploration. For example Episode is one of many works that reference the first viewing of Star Wars, a movie that heralded a new type of movie making (the birth of ILM) at a time when events in the city of San Francisco were about to explode (the assassination of Milk & Moscone). Warhol's camouflage series and Ruscha's use of text are referenced, while the use of materials and deliberate range of black, white and grey on hessian speak to important milestones in the history of Modernist painting.

Mark Soltero is an artist living and working in Ōtautahi, Christchurch. Mark’s work is situated in reference to his personal history and the cultural and political landscape of the Postmodernist period. His practice is built around an intense drawing process. Working with hand-drawn and found images, processed in the computer and scaled, transferred and intricately hand traced and stencilled before paint is applied with squeegees or large brushes. While individual marks may be visible on close viewing, the image is read as a single mark. In essence my paintings are history paintings that examine relationships between image, memory and materiality. Many of the images border on dissolution, fragmenting or breaking down in contrast to the seemingly smooth images that saturate our lived experience. Rather than making works in which the image might be shocking, I make works that draw audiences in, yet are challenging to look at. To a certain extent, the work explores our experience of différance, in time.
