David Serisier
Big Gold Monochrome
2019
Continuing his exploration of colour, Serisier’s latest exhibition is very much about painting. Using a palette of golds, silvers, black and pink, the metal rich paints deliver an effect that is both concrete and ephemeral, object and void. The large format remains at heart of any Serisier exhibition, as the title attests, with fields of colour broken as the layers of paint are built to create a shifting surface of light and texture. Returning to his earlier heavily textured approach, a series of smaller works rich with thick layers of dense colour are invested with inscripted staccato gestural marks.
