Stuart Hartley

Born 1970 - ST. Helen's - England
My current practice lies in the isolation of a moment; an encounter or decision taken that breaks up the routine structure of daily life. The physical realisation and presence of an incident.

The development of this work has fused between painting and sculpture with its genesis lying in the structure and event that conflate to produce an artwork. The space the work creates and its migration into the space of other mediums begins to shift its emphasis from a two-dimensional surface into an environment that engages the viewer and the site visually and physically. As a result, perceptions, time, space and event become involved with the work questioning the boundaries and elements that are evident within the object.
