- Description: Brandon Logan makes paintings through a distinctive process which developed from a desire to work on a surface more permeable and mutable than a traditional canvas. This technique involves the flooding, sealing, and fusing of warps of string using the gradual application of layers of paint, resulting in works with an open, fretted structure and an innate delicacy.
Sometimes the material is further cut away to form a repeated motif, excavating and revealing the layers and method of composition, measuring out the rhythm of their making.
He lives and works in Orkney and says 'while the most immediately clear thing a painter might draw upon is the colour, which arrives in the islands in strange quantities and qualities, I'm influenced too by the cycles which dictate that arrival, and much of daily life with it - weather, seasons. Colour in that sense becomes a bodily thing which we receive in doses determined by the turning of the year'. And he continues:
'the cycles of seasons mirror the human cycles of birth, life, death, as a history constantly happening, constantly beginning in a sense. Time becomes something very physically apparent when in the islands themselves, where the remnants of past lives are so visible, in ruins and wrecks. If I works by a repetitive, potentially time-based process, it might be in part due to these considerations.' - Dimensions: Unframed 115cm H x 144cm W
