Really liking the work of Tim Maguire on at the Ikon Gallery at the moment. Beautiful.
“Acclaimed Australian artist Tim Maguire has
taken the printing process to the core of his work as a painter, making
both figurative and abstract paintings using the layering of colour
according to the conventional method of commercial colour printing. For
Ikon he has produced new works, based on photographs and video; huge
digital prints to be hung unframed directly onto the gallery walls.
Depicting fragments of still-lifes and landscapes
– specifically, flowers and falling snow – these sumptuous images
celebrate the ethereal nature of beauty. In addition there is a series
of smaller
photographs and a video capturing the movement of water through the superimposition of separated pure colours.”
