Anton Hart
I have an affection for the everyday and I am appreciative of conceptualism, minimalism and post-minimalism for their clarity. But equally, I am drawn to expressionism and the shadowy, the uncontrollable and the indistinct. These are the spaces that form in-between the desire for order and the real snarl of stuff. In my paintings the meaning of the work lies less in the final images and much more in the cancellations, erasures and the stuttering click of the images being made. In this process, while you’re busily trying to undo the images, you’re also trying to hang onto the fragments.
