10 Questions: Ewa Axelrad

Ewa Axelrad’s works have rather a distinct quality; simultaneously managing to attract and discomfort the viewer. Whilst realising that one is confronted with ideas that will likely cause unease, there is something in the material and formality of the works that compels the viewer to keep staring.

10 Questions: Eli Cortiñas

It’s hard to find artists who talk as passionately about montage and film editing as Eli Cortiñas (Las Palmas, Canary Islands, 1979). You can see her dreamy expression running through all the potential stories she has in her hands, but with a theoretical and rational goal that emanates from years of seeing and working with films. She uses a similar modus operandi when creating her sculptures and collages, often independent from her video pieces, but at times establishing parallelisms with them.

“Varied, Understated, Serious and Humorous" - 10 Questions to Jeff Grant

The work of Jeff Grant (b. 1975) is forthright in its perplexity. Every piece he creates centers on concealment, the ambiguous presence, forcing the viewer to engage in a search. In a way, some of his works appear distressing. They are not abstract, although shapes and objects seem blurred and disturbed. His chosen palette, black and white or colors dimmed and subtle, only emphasizes the mental haze. Portrait outlines are fuzzy and the objects from Grant's "Creation" series appear as fantastical artefacts with tortured surfaces, holding turbulent air underneath.

"Driving Off into the Sunset" - 10 Questions to Grear Patterson

NYC-based artist Grear Patterson (b. 1988, USA) uses mixed media to create ideal locations, inspired by the 1993 film “True Romance”. For his running solo show in London's Marlborough Contemporary, Patterson presents large-scale sunsets, recreating the film though visual and audio means. For an entire month, the gallery space was transformed into a dream with extreme colours in simplified forms. Patterson is playing with viewer’s nostalgia, reflecting on the themes of childhood memories and imaginary worlds, inviting us to consider how far away a parallel reality may be.
