Jonathan Meuli

Jonathan Meuli at Gallery TEN

I have been painting professionally since I graduated from the Ruskin School of Drawing in 1982. During these years I have painted full-time for two periods: 1984 – 1989, and 1999 to the present. The first of these periods was spent mostly in West Cornwall, (where, as a child, I had my first lessons in painting and drawing from the sculptor Paul Mount, and the mosaic artist Jeanne Mount in St Just in Penwith). I also painted for substantial periods in Portugal and in Italy. The second period has been spent mostly in Scotland and France.

research projects
in 2011 I completed a research project for the Institution of Civil Engineers, consisting of twelve large paintings together with an online photo sketchbook. Full information on this project is available at http://icepaint.wordpress.com

commissions
in 2011 – 2012 I undertook two large commissions on architectural subjects for private clients – one focusing on London’s South Bank (images at http://www.flickr.com/photos/meuli-art/sets/72157627306376811/
The second was for two large paintings of the construction of the Al Bahr towers in Abu Dhabi by Aedas architects ( http://www.aedas.com/). Read more about this commission. Images of the paintings and of the sketches are available to view at http://www.flickr.com/photos/meuli-art/sets/

Improvisations

Recent paintings in this series are made from lines and dots on an iridescent pearl ground. Viewed from some angles, depending on the available light, the ground is highly reflective, from other angles almost matt. Some of the lines and dots are also made from iridescent paint or interference colours. So these paintings change their look as the viewer changes position. Each painting is a field of forces such as attraction and repulsion, coming forward and receding, repetition and mirroring. Some lines and dots are well defined, others are more like drawing or calligraphy. Each line or dot is made from a single stroke. This binary code of lines and dots is ambiguous and open to interpretation in multiple ways. These paintings are purely about the relationship between the ground, lines and dots. This is the complexity of an unsystematic system.

COLLECT 2015 – Anna S King

‘Anna S King makes beautiful things. The reductive description of her as a ‘fibre artist’ does little justice to the richness of her work, which is built on a close relationship to the natural world, an instinctive practice of a wide range of craft skills, and an unerring eye for colour and design. Through a continuous expansion of those skills, a study of makers in other cultures – particularly Japan and North America – and a re-learning of ancient traditional skills such as the twisting of fibre from bark and grasses, King has become best known for intimate objects, her woven containers sometimes like baskets, sometimes like nests, sometimes like both.’

Andrew Guest, from review in Crafts Magazine of A Quiet Intervention: Anna S King at Dawyck Botanic Gardens 2011

 

New works for COLLECT 2015 from Anna S King showing with Gallery TEN on stand 7.5
