From 15th Sep "Window Paintings" by Brendan Lyons PDF Print E-mail

image

Window frames on derelict buildings are transformed into a series of new paintings.

Glancing up at the 1st floor windows of a block of derelict buildings on Knight Street – the viewer may see a series of windows showing the effects of years of neglect. The window frames and glass have been ‘patched-up’ sometime in the past, using some adapted black bin liners and various parcel/masking/hazard tapes. These too are now showing signs of deterioration, and hang precariously from their frames.


However, on closer inspection, these apparent elements of tape and polythene, actually consist of dried sheets and strips of artists’ paint only. These sheets/strips of paint are attached to the wood frames and glass – resulting in six new paintings for this solo exhibition by Brendan Lyons.

These new paintings continue themes of perception, reference, definition and preconception, investigated by Brendan over a series of works in recent years.
