About The Artwork
© St John Montgomery-Frobisher, 2021. Inspiration: in today’s world, do we ever truly switch off? Even when our phones are switched to silent we know they will receive any incoming communications; our subconscious is always reminding us to check the status of our devices and accounts – even when we want a break from it all. The binary division between times of rest when all stimuli were removed and times of social and technological interaction is a feature of bygone ages. Yet, the wisdom of those ages also appears to have been lost. For while the ability to connect more easily and effectively than ever before is, of course, a veritable boon, the human spirit has a need for rest and recuperation which has not changed. Meanwhile, technology connects us but also drives us apart from others by virtue of how tweeting & texting is so easy that people do it without due time for reflection. On the other hand, the benefit of video calls & conferences make it easier than ever to stay connected to others — unencumbered by geospatial constraints & without the need to meet in person — at a time when that can be nothing short of a lifesaver. Materials: the painting utilizes proprietary, professional quality, acrylic paints, acrylic-based spray-paints and UV-resistant matte varnish on Windsor & Newton Professional Linen Canvas. These canvases come hand-stretched and stapled on the reverse and incorporate heavy-duty stretcher bars made from pine and adjustable pro-stretchers at the corners. Packaging, delivery and additional information: this artwork includes an artist signed Certificate of Authenticity and ships with insured worldwide delivery. The artwork is securely packaged using conservation-grade glassine paper, archival board corner protectors, 50-micron polyester wrap, bubble wrap and cardboard sheeting before being enclosed in an artwork-specific double-walled cardboard box.

St John Montgomery-Frobisher’s work explores the concepts of connection and disconnection, continuity and change, appearance and substance: within ourselves, with the natural and built environment, and as a function of the cultures in which we exist as individuals and social beings. Contemplating how we are increasingly becoming simultaneously both more and less connected to ourselves, our planet and each other — socially, geographically, environmentally and technologically — his visual expressions juxtapose, assemble and deconstruct the essence of these sometimes paradoxical ideas and manifestations across time and space. St John's photography of the natural world, and the impact of the modern world's infrastructure thereupon, often inspires his abstract painting, which deploys colour, texture and the relative transparency, opacity and proximity of shapes to engage the dualism of phenomenological and emotional response within the constantly-connected twenty-first century self. By reflecting and challenging our internal and external worlds as denizens of the contemporary epoch — and as the present custodians of the atemporal human condition that connects us to our forebears — the tensions and harmonies, the façade and the substance, and the concomitance and contradiction of the bridges and boundaries of our shared existence are revealed by this visionary artist’s inspirational creations.
