Original artwork description:
The Stade I-VI
The Stade I-VI is a series of 6 paintings made in early 2021 that were featured in the Turps Show at Thames-Side Studios Gallery, London in July 2021 and in the show’s catalogue.
Context
The Stade in winter provided the raw material for these paintings. The Stade is a commercial fishing shingle beach located behind Hastings Contemporary Gallery in Hastings Old Town. It has been used for beaching boats for more than a thousand years and is now home to Europe's largest fleet of beach-launched fishing boats.
The paintings attempt to capture the stark contrast of rusting machinery and wet rotting wood against the vivid, brilliant colours and synthetic materiality of fishing floats, nets and safety equipment. Textures of corrosion, rust, dirt, wood rot and weather-worn plastic. Rocking. Rawness.
Materials used:
Rust, graphite and acrylic on canvas
