“…Things unmade, remembered, forgotten. ” This season’s online exhibition by Ian Parker LG.
.
In whatever form it takes my work is grounded in the material practice of painting, the modernist notion of painting as matter, its status and process as material. A work may start with a specific idea or as a vague reaction; a response to a thought, a feeling, a shape, diagrams or map colour keys, found photographic imagery, screen grabs, studio paraphernalia, everyday domestic objects, observational drawings, a piece of information. This might be emotional, political, aesthetic, material or intellectual and mostly all these things together.
