ANTHONY PEARSON
2015-12-21Pearson uses a range of methods and media to create works that offer a meditative experience by way of an extreme sensitivity to materials. His practice originated in photography, and by experimenting with the formal limits of the medium, Pearson has constructed a visual vocabulary that has expanded into sculptural materials such as gypsum cement, bronze, steel, and clay. On the occasion of this exhibition, Pearson will be presenting two bodies of work: Plaster Positives and Etched Plasters. These works simultaneously embody qualities of sculpture and painting and use subtle
relief to employ both seemingly infinite detail and a broad spaciousness. The work is built by way of repetition in both method and movement, with each pour and mark made by hand. The structure of Pearson’s practice results in a subtle interplay between individual works that eventually resonate as a harmonic whole.
