ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The origin of this work began in a project to explore the artistic potential of industrial and scientific materials. Research led me to discover F.F. Runge, the 19th Century German analytical chemist, and his ‘Pattern Pictures for the Friends of Beauty’; “self-grown” pictures developed through chemical interaction of various mineral salts. Inspired by this, and with enthusiastic encouragement and feedback from an industrial polymer chemist, I set out to transform my studio into an experimental laboratory and attempt to create Runge-like images for myself. It seemed logical then that I should develop my own “pattern pictures” to add colour to my already multi-layered figurative paintings. Scientific processes and industrial resins are combined to create surface coatings; pigment is separated into its pure components to create chromatic glazes from which utopian figures emerge; perfect colour and perfect beauty are united.
