Surface tension
Vertigo Gallery, London
New paintings by Mark Pearson. Pearson's works are essentially controlled experiments with paint, the outcome of the work is often unpredictable and relies on elements of chance, chemistry and manipulation by the artist. Polymer's and pigments are applied without the use of brushes and are instead poured and guided over the surface, reacting against the tension of the canvas as they dry.
New paintings by Mark Pearson May 29 to June 17 2003
From May 29 to June 17, Vertigo presents new process based abstract works
by Mark Pearson.
Mark Pearson's works are essentially controlled experiments with paint, the
outcome of the work is often unpredictable and relies on elements of chance,
chemistry and manipulation by the artist. Polymer's and pigments are applied
without the use of brushes and are instead poured and guided over the
surface, reacting against the tension of the canvas as they dry.
From this process emerges breathtaking imagery; swirling pools of paint
suggest glacial expanses or snow covered mountain ranges or curling fronds
of pigment rise up like trees in a forest. Despite these associations with
the natural world, the paintings remain abstract in essence, the process
making visible the unseen complexity of the materials, giving us a wealth of
colour and pattern and offering a fresh interpretation with every viewing.
Mark Pearson graduated with a BSC in Biology from the Royal College of
Science, and went on to study MA Painting at the Royal College of Art,
graduating in 2000. He has since exhibited widely in London most
significantly in an AT Kearney sponsored collaboration with David Mach RA.
His work features in the collections of Linklaters and AT Kearney among
others.
