Caption: JOCELYN GREGSON DISCIPLINE 21 November - 12 December 2004 Galerie Düsseldorf Installation and Detail Views In this series of works I have sought to emulate the B&W photocopy machine which prints black toner powder fused onto paper in different densities to create light and dark. I prepare a canvas or board with layers of white gesso, this equals the paper of the photocoppy process. The DISCIPLINE is that I use only black acrylic paint which is diluted to create the lighter tones and at full strength for dark or black areas. It would be quicker and easier to use white to create value differences, but the effect is very different and not at all like a photocopy. This means perhaps anachronistically, that the paintings are also very much about the slow and careful expenditure of time. In that way differing greatly from the speedy mechanistic process I seek to echo. Jocelyn Gregson November 2004 |
