Rob Logan was born in Birmingham in 1980. He completed his MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins in 2008 and now lives and works in London.
I produce drawings which are part planned, and part improvised using techniques similar to frottage (a practice made famous by surrealist artists, used as a way to access the subconscious). The works are neither abstract nor figurative, but probably best described realist images of abstract/ unnameable things. What could be fragments of body parts, internal organs, genitals or bones morph and shift into one another, and there is a strong sense of explosion/ implosion.
I reference photography in my drawings through the use of cropping, having out of focus areas and colouring the black and white drawings in a manner reminiscent of hand coloured photographs. This further blurs the abstract/ figurative ambiguity, and also refers (in the coloured works) to sci-fi/ horror movie posters.
Although the works are not intended to have a single clear meaning, I see the themes as embodiment, body politics, abjection, techno paranoia and apocalypse.
