Gwenyth Fugard
Gwenyth’s practice investigates the notion of paintings operating as self-contained worlds, and existing as no more than an exposure of the process of their making. Emphasis is placed on construction, not merely the painting of a painting. Through a process of folding, stitching, tearing, collage, assemblage and paint, the works evidence all decision making during their construction, deconstruction and reconstruction, exposing the mechanics of painting. The paintings evidence a dependency on the five planes of their structure, which defines their status of painting-as-object. With an emphasis on the periphery and supporting sides of the painting, the structure exposes weaknesses, support, salvage and repair as they are wrapped and bandaged and may appear to be falling apart at the seams. Concealment has been discarded and all activities are revealed. Gwenyth initiates the work within a system of constraints and proceeds from the determined to improvisation, as the constraints are broken. She cultivates interruptions to occur during this process and these obstructions and interventions become integral to the shaping of the composition. Surprise may provide clarity and the surface will be restored at the centre as if an aperture was adjusted. Part air, partly grounded and part surprise, the work hangs as a suggestion of a painting. These works present an altered state and order whilst honouring the formal traditions of their inheritance.
