What Remains

Thinking about the power and mystery of monoliths, these colourful abstractions reflect an alien like quality, wondering how in an uncertain distant future, what may remain from previous but also our own potentially lost cultures.

About the artist:
J.D Parkinson is a Brighton based printmaker, illustrator and tattooist. His recent body of work explores bold colourful graphic abstraction. Wanting to develop a deeper and more nuanced understanding of colour, J D Parkinson has found particular resonances with the work of Joseph Albers. The philosophy that art is concerned not about the why, but the how, rings true to his practice. For Parkinson following a process down a route of exploration, to experience the results as the maker is the driving motivation to create, but also to continue to create and explore more possibilities. Through different screen printing methods as well as other printmaking processes, Parkinson is interested in using spontaneous methods of working such as paper cut masked stencilling and mono-printing techniques to create unexpected outcomes, un-achievable in conventional media and modes of working.
