Julian Aggrey’s work investigates texture, abstraction, geometric forms and plays on the idea of formal relationships between random ‘things’ and pattern.
The positioning and set up of the picture suggests curiosity toward balance and dialogue between forms.
Julian Aggrey takes inspiration from retro design, architecture, images in magazines, patterns on train seats, old worn posters. He sees his method of making art like archaeology, constantly removing paint to try to uncover the interesting and unique areas that can then be used to build a picture.
Aggrey approaches the making of art very openly and does not restrict himself by trying to focus too much on a conceptual idea that could hold him back.
The idea is simply about the process/possess of making of art.
Julian’s pieces can be seen at the Beyond Thought exhibition at The Nolias Gallery from the 14th – 20th December 2013.
