Limoncello are proud to present the first solo exhibition by
London based artist Anthony Green. The work in the exhibition
consists of a series of pictorial representations that behave as
objects of encounter rather than objects of recognition. Devoid of
any hidden depths or mystery the work exists as pure surface
generated from a set of contingent irrational rules informed by
Green’s rigorous conceptual practice. Provoking the language of
representation to stutter to a point whereupon the viewer
consciously becomes a foreigner in his or her own language.
Challenging historical modes of perception Green’s practice
embraces key philosophical texts to generate a series of
‘portraits’ whereupon representation is proliferated, intensified,
made worse, and pushed down a line of it's own dismantling. The
residue of this process is a block of sensation, composed from
forces and intensities, and a dynamic of territories, thresholds,
levels, and gradients. Proposing an inorganic life that exists
within a state of elasticity that attempts not to render the visible
but to render forces visible. Presenting the viewer with a series of
problematic objects that pose the problem of how to enter or
rather how to engage or experiment with them.
The concrete motor of this experimentation is drawing. The
drawing and painting on display is used as a means to introduce
chance or the manual into thought - a process in the service of
our desire to connect sense to non sense, thought to non thought.
Anthony Green (Born Welwyn Garden City, based in London)
gained his BA Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art and Design.
Exhibtions include, ‘One Dimensional Man’, International Project
Space, Bournville, and ‘Anthony Green’, Arthur R. Rose, London.
