Fulcrum - Joel Werring

Together, Werring’s sculptures, paintings, and monoprints form a cohesive exploration of duality and transformation. His works invite viewers into a space where the familiar becomes unfamiliar, where boundaries between forms dissolve, and where meaning is discovered in spaces that often go unnoticed.

Domus Meus

“… (the paintings are) tough and put together with a cool lightness of hand which conceals the lucid pictorial intelligence which has gone into their making.”

Superama, GEORGE YOUNG

This new body of paintings combines aerial landscapes and floating shapes - figuration, colour-fields, texture and abstraction. ‘Kites' are seen from above - painted with brush, roller and airbrush. They are textured and evidence process and changes in direction through overlapping layers. They show clean, machine-like fades and colour blocks that overwrite thoughts, mistakes and past potential futures.

The 'Estate' of Stuart Cumberland

When we talked about his current position relative to his painting, his reference to a previous Stuart Cumberland as the author of the work suggested that there might be rich parallels to be drawn between working with Cumberland’s painting, working with an artist’s estate and questions of authorship around painting and post-conceptual painting in particular.

Those artists who are of particular interest to me are those who are under the radar, shown in obscure places, or not show at all. And buying these near emerging or overlooked artists is both really important and incredibly worthwhile.

Firstly, they need the money - they are inevitably not wealthy and each sale enables them to make more work - this kind of patronage and support has a long and venerable cultural history and is mutually and socially beneficial.

Secondly, each time you buy their work, add it to collections and enable them to show again, you are increasing their profile, thereby causing the very thing that both you and they want. Artworks and artists partly gain their credibility through the collections they're held in and the exhibitions that they are part of. It improves their provenance. If you wish to raise the profile of an artist that you are interested or invested in, then to show them in exhibitions and collections with artists that already have recognition is invaluable. You can help create the very recognition that you hope the artist will gain. 

If there is any need for intelligent and thoughtful art in your home or offices then please contact Greg Rook Advisory. I have no doubt that great, contemporary art work would benefit your family, staff and clients as well as the exhibiting artists.
