Paul Marks : connections without conclusions - part 1

About

This exhibition, split into two parts brings together works made in a variety of media over the last ten years. The connection for Part 1 is 'the non-physical' & for Part 2 'the physical'. The centre piece of Part 1 is a diptych 'Transmitter / Receiver' these large scale wall hung painted structures peel away from the wall enveloping and activating the space. Painted black and white like a positive and a negative they offer an opportunity for contemplation without a narrative. Part 2. Friday 9th October - Saturday 31st October. 'Untitled sex act No.1' is taken from a pornographic image, enlarged so that each pixel is painted as a 20mm square. Any trace of the original subject matter is lost leaving an abstract painting. 'She suffers beautifully' taken from an S&M image undergoes the same process, although when viewed through a phone camera reveals its photographic content.
