Greg Beavis | 135 - 16 August, 2024
Monoprint
Media Dimensions: 28 x 37.8 cm
Image Dimensions: 14.8 x 21 cm
Edition of 15
Framed/unframed
The work submitted references Greg’s on-going fascination with the 'gesture'; the action and energy involved in making a dynamic mark. He is interested in the dichotomy of how a mark which takes just seconds to make, then goes through the somewhat slow process of transition to create an intaglio plate that can be printed. How can the energy and spontaneity of the former be maintained in the latter? He works in a multi disciplinary way sometimes combining paintings, ink, monotypes or collages without a clear intention. These experiments are revisited at a later date and he looks for interesting areas that might provide a starting point to make digital images that could, for example, become photo polymer prints. Greg Beavis currently prints at WMC. He is an art and photography teacher in a London seconday school. He has exhibited at the Fitzrovia, Crypt, R.K. Burt and Safehouse Galleries.
