Motorik / TWO / chromatic shift

2017

About the Item

Motorik / TWO / chromatic shift 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 ⋅ 88cm H x 72.4cm W Sheet size ⋅ 100cm H x 82.4cm W . Motorik / TWO / chromatic shift takes up where the Arpeggi series left off. It revisits the idea of capturing a complex syncopated rhythm as a series of dismantled modular components, laid out on a grid as if it were a sheet of music, in a complex scaled arrangement of different pulses, or beats. Motorik refers directly to the Krautrock beat pioneered by Can and Neu! amongst others, stellar musicians who were experimenting with beat and repetition in the seventies, as digital and analogue instruments began to be combined on record, to astonishing effect. Hallogallo is a good place to dive in if you’re not familiar with their music. It would have been easiest to cut the work at the editing stage, but I decided I wanted to get upstream from there and cut up and reassemble the work at the sculptural stage. So the whole study is in fact cut and shut in three dimensions, before being rendered out as a two-dimensional image ahead of editing and recolouring. As a result, there are shards of pieces at the top and bottom of each stave, bleeding into and out of the image, creating a kind of chromatic shift amongst the components. For Motorik / TWO on Plexiglass I used nine horizontal lines, or components, positioned vertically on a grid, that in its original form measures some 240cm H on the wall, you can see that work online here. The pigment print takes the same geometry, and editions it as an 88cm H piece, with all of the colour, if not the scale, of the original intact.

Dazzle / 12 bar crop

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...

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...

Untitled (Collective Light Power) by Rico Gatson (abstract geometric lines)
By Rico Gatson
Located in New York, NY
In celebration of Lincoln Center's ultimate New York festival, Summer for the City, the Brooklyn based artist Rico Gatson created a dynamic image of bold colors radiating positive energy. Gatson's concentric circle motif and projecting lines draw inspiration from the giant disco ball shining above Lincoln Center's iconic Revson Fountain, a welcoming beacon at the heart of Josie Robertson Plaza. This colorful, archival pigment print is printed on Hahnemühle paper and is signed, dated and numbered in pencil by the artist. It is in excellent condition and comes directly from Lincoln Center Editions...
