James Lieutenant
Turn on the light
19 aug. — 8 oct. 2022
James Lieutenant's practice focuses on atmospheric and ethereal qualities that can emerge through layering colour and texture. He has researched a variety of surface application techniques; from dabbing watery paint with a rag, to pushing paint through a silkscreen leaving bitmap forms lightly veiled and shimmering on the surface.
For his new exhibition Turn on the light, James Lieutenant has constructed a series of works that explore the relationship between light, materials and texture. These abstracted works create a dialogue between the physical act of layering materials and emotional states including vulnerability, trauma and harmony.
