About The Artwork

© St John Montgomery-Frobisher. Inspiration: social media profiles are more glamorous than our real selves and portray us as unfailingly having fun. However, the process of this exaggerated or idealized persona actually causes us to enjoy the experiences we have less; we are not immersed in them but preoccupied with ticking off a bucket list or keeping up an appearance of how much we are enjoying an experience. Consequently, we are denying ourselves the state of mindful flow which would be otherwise genuinely providing this enjoyment. So, does the ability to post or stream videos & photographs of ourselves and our experiences truly capture the world as it really is. Alternatively, are the expectations and motivations which drive our selections and presentations actually a barrier to accessing the true nature of reality and thereby analogous to the veil dividing the world as an idea from the noumenal world? 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. Please note that while every effort has been made to ensure that the colours of the original artwork have been faithfully reproduced in the listing, variations may be experienced between the image reproduced on your monitor and the artwork itself.

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.
