About this artwork
An abstract expressionist style work. Created from a canvas that has been through 2 years of rework from colour field to abstract line and back again. I'm never satisfied until I'm satisfied, hence my slow pace of uploading new work - not all works should be seen or be considered for sale.
Covering a previous iteration in a loose black wash to begin a new stage of experimentation with ideas, I roughly marked out a pattern in charcoal. This was almost… a surrealist exercise in automatic drawing which was then followed up with deliberate brush work with a mat black enamel. The white enamel followed to edit and block out a space for the black to exist.
The work is inspired by the angular black and white work of Franz Kline..
I consider this work a subconscious self portrait and is the second in an ongoing series of experiments along this line of enquiry.
The use of black and white is to simplify my ideation and thoughts and represent the dichotomy of existence.

« I'm not confined by a singular style or motif, I explore possibilities in painting and believe the act of creation is greater than what is created. It represents me at the deepest level. »
One of the key themes in Jonathon Telcher's works is existence, represented by an overarching idea rather than literal. The act of painting is of the utmost importance for the Australian painter, as he believes that the image is the residual imprint of the artist 'left to travel through time and space'. He describes his works as immediate, raw, and a record of his existence.
