Curate and Critique was great for getting us to think more about our own practice and the vital things of interest to us. The artists, in posts below, Karla Black, Gedi Sibony, Polly Apfelbaum and Patrick Lundberg were the artists I chose to exhibit alongside in our 'virtual' exhibition. I chose these artists as I feel, that along with myself, they are interested in the critique of the formal within art.
I am interested in taking a more relaxed approach than remembered through history to the formal, through both provisionality and playfulness. Colour plays a large part in the playful, fun side to my work, creating a vibrant and whimsical feel. This allows us to look at how the fundamental elements of form can emerge in varying roguish shapes and sizes. In taking a 'this goes with that' attitude I feel this creates pieces that could be picked up and replaced anywhere and in any configuration. Pieces that can stand on their own, be placed with others, or reused again and again.
The slippage between painting and object is relevant to my practice and addressing the question of, what defines a painting? Considering the stage where an objects perspective is altered and it is no longer an entity in itself, where there has been an allowance for the material to take place of painting and it becomes about the material and the formal lines it creates. This can produce an unexpectedness and enquiring into what it is, as a viewer, you are confronted with.
