FEED: A solo exhibition by Simon Leahy-Clark - black collage works, 2018-2022

About

In his solo exhibition FEED, Simon Leahy-Clark presents large scale newspaper collages made over the last 4 years, including two new works made specifically for the Artworks Project Space. 

These black collage works explore painterly language and mark-making through the editing, dislocating and the eventual re-coalescing of photographs from daily newspapers. Various gradients of dark tones, with occasional disturbances of highlights, lines and objects, are collaged onto a canvas surface, creating what appears to be an action or monochrome painting. The static images are re-animated into a new frozen moment of making.

Aside from the lines on the surface, the shape of the cuttings play an important part in the work. Being all square or rectangle they lend the work a pixelated aesthetic, albeit in a glitchy, post-digital manner. The accumulation of hundreds of these truncated pictures replicates our modern ways of swiping or flicking through the vast amount of imagery we now consume in the high-speed digital world - a feed of fleeting form and content. 

The installation will incorporate artist-made seating to complement the work.
