KEN BLACKBURN: NEW WORK


Image: Arris XXV, mixed media & etched steel on board, 60 x 25cm

Over the years that I have been making these paintings, I have from time to time attempted to verbalise the reasons and motivations behind their production.
Initially, I would say that my paintings were reproductions of existing images of derelict industrial walls, which appeared abstract but were in fact representational.
On the other hand, I found that much of the time I couldn’t resist the urge to let each painting develop in its own individual and natural way and before long found that I was working in a much more process- based way. As such it’s hard to say if my work is processed or idea’s based. Making historical or contemporary references to other artists or ideologies whilst re-assuring, is not particularly helpful.
The reality in the studio is all about decisions and the desire to make something unique and impossible to duplicate.

Following its hugely successful debut last year, Buy Art Fair has announced its return for 2009 with a three-day weekend event from the 24th to 27th September at Urbis.

The consumer art exhibition, one of the largest in the country, will showcase the work of over 300 renowned and highly sought after artists, presented by over 75 carefully selected galleries. Amongst those confirmed are Paul Stolper, BEARSPACE, The Smithfield Gallery and Curwen & New Academy Gallery alongside returning galleries Wendy J Levy Contemporary Art Ltd, Li Kailin and Fiumano Fine Art.

A fresh and exciting addition for 2009 will be the first presentation of The Manchester Contemporary which is effectively a show within a show and takes up the third floor of Urbis.
