poster for Jack Robinson "SCANNOGRAMS"

This event has ended.

Jack Robinson creates ‘scannograms’. Working in a manner evocative of Man Ray, Robinson’s work reflects his pre-occupation with mechanical processes, form and space. Each work presents the viewer with Robinson’s abstracted interpretation of people and objects. Robinson’s process is simple, yet strikingly ingenious. Using a digital flatbed scanner as if it were a camera, the artist creates a series of digital files. The individual frames are then painstakingly arranged to create a life-size image. The length of time Robinson takes to complete each work is an integral part of his artistic practice. A single scan takes around 40 seconds, with up to 150 separate scans needed to create one scannogram. This establishes an intimate bond between artist and subject, resulting from both the physical proximity needed to take the scans, and the necessary duration of this closeness. The numerous scans Robinson takes are then delicately pieced together to create a luminous, broken image representative of time and space filtered through the artist. Each work displays these elements deconstructed then recreated in order to point beyond representational images.
