POPPY VEALE

Poppy Veale

Title: A LIFE IN COLOUR

Medium: Mixed media and body art

Dimensions: N/A

Price: goggles for £45-50

Synopsis: The work displays a visual representation of the therapist to patient dynamic. The goggles overhead represent the therapist, spectator and authoritarian presence; whilst the white model represents humanity in its most naive form, uncoloured by life experience. The pigments thrown onto the model are characteristic of the various voices/ opinions/ experiences that are thrown at us throughout our lives; both discoloring and at the same time beautiful. Thus it is the therapist's task to wade through these colours, discussing the detrimental and nurturing the beneficial until the paitent can distinguish a confident sense of self, accepting the colours 'he' now wears.

Title of work: The Servant

Medium: Velvet, glass plate, goat's skull, table, hand stitch

Dimensions: 32 x 50 x 59 cm

Price: NFS

Synopsis:
the servant
there is an echo of a dream
at the back of my mind
cement in powder
the wrong line
not much bread
to fill a mouth
less water yet
to feed the shout
gruesome latitude
an overflow of wrongness
the open legs of servitude
a genesis of boldness
he left never to come back again
and I'm here still trying
to remember his name

JASON FILE



Jason File

Title: The End of Painting

Medium: Screen print on canvas

Dimensions: 42cm x 29.7cm

Price: 110 GBP

Synopsis: This is a screen print of a computer program in the BASIC computer language, which was popularised in the late 1970s and early1980s. If executed, this program would theoretically cause a computerto print an infinite number of pages with the same statement inquotations. With this work, the artist explores the symbioticrelationship between man and computers as exemplified by theincreasing use of digital means of production in artistic creation.The work could potentially be viewed, however, as subverting theargument frequently voiced by critics that "painting is dead" bydepicting a program that would make this point endlessly, whilesimultaneously incorporating a pun that asks the viewer to enquirewhat is the "end" or "purpose" of painting.
