About the Item
Ink on 19th Century Paper
If painting, like any other language, can be considered an abstract system of signs, there must be a pictorial vocabulary and syntactical rules which communicate meaning, however subjectively. When individual expression and personal in(ter)vention subsume themselves under a principle of order, they derive a new lawfulness and new formal possibilities. His paintings are not necessarily abstractions but through figurative symbols and external references are amenable of multiple connotations, even when there may be a stated object.
The ink on paper drawings featured here play on the talismanic power of language and the written word. Neither the provenance nor the purpose of the magical processes intimated by the drawings is stated: they could be at once apotropaic charms, the means of commanding supernatural forces or a baroque red herring.
Arising from an examination of (predominantly) British prehistoric funerary monuments, his current paintings might be styled a form of anastylosis: an attempt to inflect fragments of mid-20th century painterly language with a 21st

Wayne Summers
Born in Leicestershire in 1960, Wayne Summers attended King Edward VI Grammar School, Stratford-upon-Avon before studying Art & Drama at the West London Institute and Visual Studies at Oxford Polytechnic (now Oxford Brookes). He has since lived on the North Staffordshire moors, in Bristol, Rotterdam and London and is currently based in the Welsh Marches. For the past 30 years he has worked primarily as a graphic designer whilst continuing to paint. In 2011 he mounted his first solo show in over 20 years at Llanover Hall Arts Centre, Cardiff. He was also invited to show work as part of Made in Herefordshire (2011) and the Three Choirs Festival (2012) at the Courtyard, Hereford. The latter was also the venue for An Upstart Crow, a solo show of 23 works on Shakespearean themes which ran from December 2014 to January 2015. He has subsequently shown at MOMA Wales; The Bohunk Institute, Nottingham; The Sidney Nolan Trust, Powys; Hereford Museum; and Ty Pawb, Wrexham. Having concluded an MA in Fine Art (Painting) at Aberystwyth School of Art in 2019, he is now a Doctoral Research student in the same discipline and at the same institution.
