Gary Colclough

Gary Colclough creates small scale drawings that depict scenes of nature in meticulous detail. Working from a personal archive of found photographs the artist experiments with the image. He crops, removes, reconstructs so that the final image, devoid of people or action, is the site or potential and unknowable narratives. The constructed and often digitally manipulated original is then interpreted once more by the traditional process of drawing. Through these transformations information is lost and created leaving the images somewhere between the uncanny and familiar. Presenting his drawings on minimalistic wooden structures, creating a tension between the sculptural form and the two dimensionality of the drawing which itself is an interpretation of a (constructed) perception.
