New Work '13: James Cousins

17 April - 11 May 2013 Lorne Street
Overview
New Work '13, James Cousins
Developing and expanding on themes evident in his earlier exhibitions Signal (2009) and Accent (2011), in New Work’13 James Cousins continues to intertwine and enmesh abstraction with figuration in his reticent and illusional works. As in earlier series’, these paintings are constructed through compounded layers of processes. They combine intricate and systemised pattern-making procedures with unmediated spontaneous acts. Impossible tensions arise in the tenuous meeting of his pictorial subjects (in this case flora taken from a published anthology of plants) and material working processes of the paintings themselves. This is compounded in some works by deliberate and heavy overworking of otherwise delicate and fragile paint surfaces.
