In a time of visual overload, British painter, Paul Lemmon, ventures into the screen and returns with 21st century visions. Disrupting digital videos taken from film, TV and social media, he transforms them into kaleidoscopic oil paintings defined by dazzling colour contrasts and glitch aesthetics which foreground the illusory qualities of the internet.
Digital forests grow in cyberspace; David Bowie’s phantom shifts shape; an abstracted matrix of possibility unfolds. Fashioned from the immaterial depths of the internet, these material objects of contemplation are brought to life by an intensive process of video remix, careful sifting and recomposition, and the delicate application of paint.
Not only does Lemmon’s work reflect our saturated information age but, in this show of over 40 paintings, he also invites viewers to engage afresh with the physical world itself.
Born in Birmingham and brought up in the Midlands, Paul Lemmon has been working as a professional artist for nearly two decades and has exhibited widely. He recently completed major public commissions for Surreal Solihull and Coventry Biennial, in collaboration with University of Warwick. His paintings feature in private collections around the world, including New York, Paris, Dubai and Hong Kong. He is represented by Ricardo Van Parmar, London and Forward Gallery, Birmingham.
