The exhibition ‘Percept/Logos’ takes its source from Press photography of the Israeli Palestine conflict. ‘Percept’(the sensory impression of an object), ‘Logos’ (appeal to logic) tries to find a way to question notions of neutrality and ambiguity when dealing with the subject of war. While remaining sensitive to the subject, an attempt is made to extract the materiality of war from these images. Equally the relationship between photography
and painting is brought into question by considering critical positioning and appropriation. The images go through a process of drawing studies to isolate the construction of the composition, the finished works then become abstract collages of these elements.
The four exhibitions in this series deal with the idea of ‘Percept’ (the sensory impression of an object) with each exhibition focusing on a different mode of persuasion (Pathos, Logos, Ethos). Found images are appropriated from online sources as a means to produce abstractions of the original while addressing painting’s relationship to photography. This is achieved by a process of scrutinising the image, a process of drawing studies, digital manipulation and collage.
The series of exhibitions use traditional painting genres, Landscape, the portrait, war painting as a way to question their significance today. The subject of each show spans various time periods, from historic to modern day. While still tethered to the original source image, colour and graphic motifs replace the representation of the real.
