Hanson will continue his manipulation of architectural space, decoration and language of interior design. He creates a 360 degree painted and taped world where floor, walls and ceiling become one through the meticulous graphic accentuation of every plane, every join, every architectural detail.
Jerwood Artists Platform
Tod Hanson’s first major London solo exhibition, as part of the
Jerwood Artists Platform, presents a new site responsive installation.
At Cell Project Space, Hanson will continue his characteristic
manipulation of architectural space, decoration and the language of
interior design to explore the rush of an over-amplified globalised
environment - its war, celebration and delirium. Once in the white
gallery space visitors are enticed to walk over the threshold into an
Alice in Wonderland riot of line and form. Hanson creates a 360
degree painted and taped world where floor, walls and ceiling become
one through the meticulous graphic accentuation of every plane, every
join, every architectural detail.
From the centre of the gallery a frenzy of what at first sight
appear to be party streamers festoon the walls drawing the viewer
into a bright golden back space. Here the streamers morph from torn
rags through ticker tape and bandages into cut straw and rays of
sunshine. Enveloping the viewer in a comic book world, Hanson
constantly plays with their visual expectations through his bold
graphic style and ability to create changes in atmosphere through
colour and altered vistas.
Advance copies of a full colour catalogue with an essay by Jessica
Lack are available on request.
