In my last post i talked about presenting work outside of the gallery and in a natural enviroment where my selected artwork would seemingly be out of place as it is focused on technology and modern communication. This led me on to think about artists work that bridge the gap between nature and science such as...

Annie Lapin

Alexis Harding
Mathmatical grids are broken down by a slow chemical reaction between the oil based and water based paints he uses breaking the solid form.


Tam Van Tran
Tran paints lucious, green forests then cuts it into strips piecing them back together with a stapler to make new forms. He is also inspired colourful microganisms. Macro and Micro levels.

Corinne Wasmuht
Wasmuht landscapes could simultaneously be depicting urban or natural enviroments.

I am going slightly off point but I think that this is also a very strong theme to work from and could make a very interesting exhibition I haven't really thought about how or where I would present it yet but I think that there is a lot potential.
Nature vs reason can be reduced to chaos vs order which is something I am very interested in my own and others artwork. Elements of chaos or loss of control restricted, defined or contrasted by controlled areas of paint. It is this style of working that attracts me to Cecily Brown's sensual, gestural paintings.
Cecily Brown
Bold, block areas of colour and contrasted with fluid, gestural marks to create on sensual, emotive piece.
