Paul Chapman: New Work

Opening on Thursday 18 August at 5.30 – 7pm.

This exhibition explores mark-marking through the aesthetic of a ‘misprint.’

Paul’s finished art works are made into rubber stamps and become a vehicle for block printing. To some extent the work is controlled by the size of the stamps - they can be no larger that 8 x 10cm, and by the inks used on rubber for simple block printing.

“Through intentional overprinting, these works exhibit a controlled use of chance. I have forsaken a tight thematic exhibition for one that has a sense of ‘play’. Regardless of whether the subject matter is figurative or abstract, most have a notion of ‘error’ as their initial premise. The figurative works directly reference some of my past printmaking exhibitions, their contents are as clear as each title. The abstract works are free from such defining titles and venture towards exploring layering within the print”.
