About the Item

Through my recent work I have been expressing ‘capturing the essence of the moment’. When from the corner of my eye I capture something that visually excites me, and I want to try to preserve the energy of this moment through painting. Sometimes I paint a little memory. Stumbled upon through the scent of a colour, the thread of a scrap of fabric, the fragment of a day out. A few past moments retained like snapshots create a visual narrative in paint……stories. Sometimes my paintings are collages of moments where I play with real representative collage. I preserve a memory (watercolour on tissue paper) responding with this media to the fragile nature of the subject, which I seal with layers of varnish into a still life. If I’m listening to music the lyrics sometimes link subconsciously into pieces of my work and eventually become entangled in the paint on the canvas. I try to find beauty in the small everyday moments of life, and share it through my paintings. On the days I get lost I go back to Matisse, Picasso and read Hockney whose personal perspective lifts my spirits and always makes me seek to find ‘pink through blue’.

  • Gold Block II - Parsival -contemporary abstract black and gold leaf on canvas
    By Russell Frampton
    Located in London, GB
    'This recent body of work is informed by my continuing research into the physical and metaphorical nature of archaeological artefacts and votive objects, allied to the referencing of the symbolic forms and materiality of alchemy. Central to this practical investigation has been the use of ‘gold’, and the qualities that the material, with its obvious chromatic and symbolic values, seems to possess. This has driven both the conceptual and pragmatic concerns within the evolution of this work. Gold is an alluring and complex symbol of many, often conflicting meanings, avarice, greed, wealth but also of purity and celebration, and has been used as the adornment of spiritual and religious iconography as a devotional act for millennia. The title refers to connections I have made with the forms themselves, often when making a painting a word will emerge which acts as a form of poetic catalyst. ‘Parsival’ or Percivale/Peredur was the knight questing for the holy grail...
