Psyche D / EvH

2017

About the Item

Psyche D / EvH is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 24 prints, plus 2 APs Image size ⋅ 80cm H x 80cm W Sheet size ⋅ 94cm H x 94cm W . I drew Psyche D / EvH (event horizon) in 2017, as part of my Current at Catto show. It’s a wildly complex drawing, that freewheeled out of control as it went on. In its initial incarnation, it was conceived as a kind of giant psychedelic Krispy Kreme doughnut, with a petal like structure containing a wholly fluid series of line drawings, that bubble and move like a 60’s oil light show, in a kind of camomile pink colour. Looking back from this distance it was either insane or brilliantly exuberant. I’m not sure which. That piece has yet to be editioned, as I feel it would test the goodwill of any gallery to the outer limits, so it remains on hold, lurking in the back of my imagination, festering really. There’s an interesting conversation to be had there about what should and shouldn’t be editioned, and who chooses. The simplistic answer is the artist of course, but it’s a much more complex issue than that in reality. Ultimately I think you have to take your audience with you, as a shared experience in which you travel progressively away from your start point, trying not to leave too many people behind. If you lose everyone along the way, then you'll end up speaking to no one of course, which is in itself an interesting thought to contemplate. Does an artwork need an audience? Not sure. Simply making work each day has some significant benefits for the artist, so perhaps the answer is no, the work doesn’t need an audience? Having drawn Sun : Moon : Cosmos {67} a few months earlier, I realised that I could probably steer the Psyche D study in a similar direction, and so started work on this largely gold and blue piece, that like Cosmos holds a separate disc at its core, a centre in the void, surrounded by an explosion of colour and form, that in some way seems almost like a universe or cosmos, surrounding the planet like disc. The split blue core can be read in a myriad of ways, certainly as the blue pill / red pill question from Lewis Carroll’s Alice books, later referenced in the Matrix, or as a reference to Bill Ander’s Earth Rise photo taken from space in 1968, alongside any number of other dualities that you may care to plant there.

Klint / reDux / kbrk

Klint / reDux / kbrk is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 50.8cm H x 66cm W Sheet size ⋅ 65cm H x 80cm W . Le Klint Studio is an inspiration to anyone who loves paper folding, contemporary design, and light. So, of course, I couldn’t resist making a series of origami like geometries for a new set of works on paper in 2015. Le Klint Studio, to my mind, are particularly well known for their folded paper pendant shades, contemporary designs which are as beautiful as they are ubiquitous. The image I made is not an identikit line work, more an homage based around some of the origami like folds they use, with the addition of colour glazes and offset transparencies. I've also added a grid like structure of darkly shaded lines and accents, that brings the geometry to life. The first piece I drew, ACDH (acid house...

Dazzle / 12 bar crop
By Chuck Elliott

Dazzle / 12 bar crop is a ten colour archival pigment print on 305gsm, 100% cotton, Hahnemühle fine art paper. The work can be supplied unframed, or framed and ready to hang. I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount. If you’d like to discuss other framing choices to suit your space please do get in touch. Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 48 prints, plus 4 APs Image size ⋅ 60cm H x 48.6cm W Sheet size ⋅ 72.8cm H x 60.6cm W . The Dazzle piece I drew for my 2017 show Current at Catto was 200cm wide, but the drawing seemed to offer an opportunity to generate a smaller work on paper as well. So after a little further experimentation, I cropped the study down to the 12 vertical bars that form the central core of the composition, and tried it out at various sizes on the Hahnemühle paper, settling in the end for this pigment print edition at 60cm high. I like the idea of the 12 bar crop, with its strong musical connotations. Dazzle is another work that uses my SV (systematic variation) technique to modulate the line drawing in ways that make it denser, more complex, and less overtly machine generated. I hope it takes on some of the life you’d find in a classic Missoni fabric, as well as drawing inspiration from the amazing ‘camouflaged’ vessels that became known as dazzle ships...

I tend to use fairly minimal glazed and painted tulipwood frames, and set the work ‘straight in’ under the fillets, without a window mount.

Individually signed and numbered From an edition of 24 prints, plus 2 APs Image size ⋅ 88cm H x 72.2cm W Sheet size ⋅ 100cm H x 82.2cm W . Torsion / primer is a variant of an original base drawing that was used to create the ‘torqued’ forms of the more complex Torsion / REZ works on Plexiglass. The idea comes from a number of places but in particular the modernist sculptural work of Walter Leblanc, and his idea that if you heat up a thin bar of steel, and torque one end through a number of rotations, whilst clamping the other end firmly, the resulting form will be a hugely satisfying candy twist of metal, spiralling up or down, depending on your choice of rotational direction. For Torsion / primer I drew tall...
