Protracting Light. Unorthodox materials, such as horsehair, plaster, objects, projections of rope, wood plastic and paint, emphasizing the process, and the physical gesture of animated objects and of the body, in its relationship to space and containment.
Coleman Project Space is pleased to announce Protracting Light the solo exhibition of artist Malcolm Jones showcasing recent unseen paintings.
Malcolm’s earlier works incorporated unorthodox materials, such as horsehair, plaster, objects, projections of rope, wood plastic and paint, emphasizing the process, and the physical gesture of animated objects and of the body, in its relationship to space and containment. These interests were further developed through collaborative performance work with artists and musicians, with Death to Grumpy Grandads re-enacted as part of The Whitechapel’s Short History of Performance Part 1 in 2002
Later works focused on experimentation with the formal construction of painting, to produce paradoxical counter-illusions in space. The dynamics within these paintings resulted from procedures of chance ascription and logical modification of colour swatches to circumscribe pictorial space.
More recently Malcolm has introduced a randomizing grid method which describes form by rotating lines across a picture plane to generate interpenetrating coloured circular areas. Protracting Light showcases watercolours and canvases developed over a 4 year period.
Malcolm Jones lives in east London and is based at Chisenhale Studios . Alumnus of University of Reading and Chelsea School of Art, he has exhibited & performed widely in the UK and abroad, namely Royal Academy, National Portrait Gallery, Whitechapel Gallery and in Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rotterdam & Brussels .
