Fisher renders the accessories of tough urban life in fabric offering a new take on traditional representations of aggression and hostility. Soft and sensuous collisions of technique, of high and low culture and of pictorial and sculptural space cause slippages in meaning through which new territories can be glimpsed.
Gesturing from the far side, Nicholls’ faux collage paintings concern themselves with the pleasures of referentiality. These works pursue a dynamic dialogue with the remains of meaning, a range of faded visual histories, feeling what the curves and lines of familiar marks might contribute to the making of a new story.
As with Fisher and Nicholls, there is an almost fetishistic fascination with the physicality of materials in Swann’s delicately made and deceitful artefacts. A compulsive authorial shadow asserts its presence in the transformation of resources providing a fantastical gateway to the world of nature.
Inhabiting a point of view both within and at a distance from what’s agreed, the work of these three artists makes the assertion that odd associations have a rightful place, which strays from the requirement that they be competent, able to provide answers in known terms.
