The title refers to Underground Resistance, an American musical collective from Detroit, primarily producing Detroit techno since 1990. The bottom left part of the painting has two rectangles with cut out chevrons, the unusual fragment nods to the avant-garde movement of vorticism. In this area of painterly flourish, Hayward reimagines a 1943 work, ‘Michaelmas Landscape’ by Paul Nash. In Hayward’s own versions of quintessential British landscapes, the small scale and great level of detail speaks to his training in Indo-Persian miniature painting. Emulating embroidery, the bottom right section is a textural patterning referencing a Cameroonian textile.
