Expeditionary - 12" x 12"
12” x 12” Ink and acrylic on Wood. Comes wired and ready to hang!
Jon Shaw’s work documents the slow metamorphosis of cluttered urban spaces. Recreated as illustrative ink and acrylic paintings on wood, they memorialize the ongoing transformation of the familiar locales we tend to overlook in our daily routines. It celebrates crumbly detritus, dumpsters, graffiti and discarded objects.
The work is a combination of detailed ink lines and various transparent acrylic layers applied via brush, droplets and puddles. This layering process establishes a harmonious network of spontaneous mark-making and detailed structure. These techniques are fuelled by the symbiotic narrative between inhabitant and location in the spaces that he references.
