Description: From the Smoking Series.
The achromatic form on which these paintings were structured resulted from a question that arose in previous work. I had been working in colour from images that originated in photographic reference, such as family snapshots, almost all of which were in black and white. To assign local colour to areas of the image seemed arbitrary and the results often too "pretty". The alternative of simply using grey paint was too sterile. I wanted to discover a method of painting that would allow the play of colour and avoid the decorative, while preserving the integrity of the original.
It was only when I began to apply adjacent complimentary hues to the canvas in a pointillistic fashion with a course air brush, which from a distance would appear as values of grey approximating those of the original, that I felt I had arrived at an acceptable painterly solution. This produced a personal aesthetic that was to remain with me over many years and subjects.

Juanita

Work ID: 50659
Description: From the Smoking Series.
The achromatic form on which these paintings were structured resulted from a question that arose in previous work. I had been working in colour from images that originated in photographic reference, such as family snapshots, almost all of which were in black and white. To assign local colour to areas of the image seemed arbitrary and the results often too "pretty". The alternative of simply using grey paint was too sterile. I wanted to discover a method of painting that would allow the play of colour and avoid the decorative, while preserving the integrity of the original.
It was only when I began to apply adjacent complimentary hues to the canvas in a pointillistic fashion with a course air brush, which from a distance would appear as values of grey approximating those of the original, that I felt I had arrived at an acceptable painterly solution. This produced a personal aesthetic that was to remain with me over many years and subjects.

Twelve 8
Artist: David Barnett
Work ID: 50737
Description: From the Media Series.
Twelve was the first of several polytychs. Each of its twelve panels used imagery cropped from the daily newspapers between December 1992 and March 1993. Each echoing its black and white source was painted in strokes of complimentary colours, which from a distance, appeared as values of grey.
There was no pretence of forming patterns of meaning; in fact if there is one, it is of meaninglessness, fragmentation and our inability to grasp any comprehensible notion of a constantly changing world. To emphasise this, their installation, avoiding the unity of a grid, was random and avoided horizontal or vertical alignment. A hanging diagram was provided.
The title of each set was borrowed from a literary source.

Seven 6
Artist: David Barnett
Work ID: 50754
Description: From the Media Series.
Twelve was the first of several polytychs. Each of its twelve panels used imagery cropped from the daily newspapers between December 1992 and March 1993. Each echoing its black and white source was painted in strokes of complimentary colours, which from a distance, appeared as values of grey.
There was no pretence of forming patterns of meaning; in fact if there is one, it is of meaninglessness, fragmentation and our inability to grasp any comprehensible notion of a constantly changing world. To emphasise this, their installation, avoiding the unity of a grid, was random and avoided horizontal or vertical alignment. A hanging diagram was provided.
The title of each set was borrowed from a literary source.
Seven:
