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.
