Stimulating talk, good timing as I have seen much 'contemporary art' recently which I felt had little to offer me, despite working quite hard at it!
- crosses a range of disciplines -sculpture, graphic design, silk screen, painting and probably more
- often works in collaboration- composers. cabinet makers, electricians....
- site specific work and free standing works
Kinetic qualities explored with moving elements, rotating forms etc.
Interestingly painted/ manipulated gallery floor to strengthen relationship of two paintings placed at right angles to one another.
His 'Fuzzy logic' series were exciting - often referenced from well known paintings Monet, Goya...
Executed through series of dots of differing size and densities -computer generated prior to silkscreen printing. Great sysnthesis of digital and analogue work, referencing well known paintings but providing a totally new statement. The discipline of the underlying grid coupled with apparently random dots/ fine aethetic judgements provides the basis for powerful, stuctured work.
Tremendous energy, competence coupled with aesthetic judgement - one to watch.
