Stephen Pusey "A Way of Ending and Beginning"

Guided By Invoices

This event has ended.

Guided By Invoices presents a solo exhibition of paintings and drawings by Stephen Pusey.

An underlying concept of Stephen Pusey's current paintings and drawings is signature. This may be interpreted literally as a calligraphic mark or by extrapolation to signify an expression of being that is at once unique and commonly shared.

Pusey's work is simple in premise and complex in form: it commences with broadly drawn gestures to which the artist autonomically responds carrying the information of the initial strokes through the work until a matrix resembling a neural network is formed. While his current work is Abstract there is a biological inference in the entwined forms which never actually coalesce into figuration. The paintings also have an optical contradiction of a flat plane and a perspective space effected by his vibrant and exacting use of line and tonal color. To quote the artist, “I am interested in the duality and dialogue of opposites - the tension between chaos and structure - of progression and regression and of a biological shape-shifting and persistence of similarity that resonates throughout existence.”
