PRINTMAKING
Jon Harrison
The object of the work is to embody within the marks, gestures and recognisable imagery, ideas around experiences that go beyond the formal nature of art. It is a deliberate attempt to break the habits and restraints that come through the adoption of learned techniques, pictorial devices and formal convention in order to achieve a greater immediacy of impulse. The property of line, shape, colour and paint quality forged to carry specific psychological objectives is a major concern in the phrasing of a visual language appropriate to my intentions.
In the painting entitled Hors-d’oeuvre Hayward Gallery (Arts Council Collection, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London, Greater London, England, SE1 8XX accession number: AC 5494) two canvases, one circular and one rectangular are juxtaposed. Disparate and reticent, yet seemingly embraced, they exist in symbiosis.
