SUMMARY:Clive Powsey : Discontemporary Printmaking
DESCRIPTION:Like many artists I see images and iconography primarily existing in a continuum that goes back to the dawn of human culture and is sustained by recurring archetypes.  The term “contemporary art” attempts to locate pictures here and now in time and space taxonomically\, but this feels unnatural for those who take stock of the visual art record in the way visual artists do.  Artists might be more inclined to categorize by iconography\, medium\, or style\, for example.  I see my completed images as ‘discontemporary\,’ immediately uploaded from the fleeting present to an unspeakably vast\, oceanic and noisy continuum of art imagery. Each image is dispatched in the hope that someone\, somewhere\, at some time will discern its signal amongst the noise.  Hopefully this one-day-only pop-up exhibition of selected intaglio printmaking will appear briefly in time and space at 10am on the morning of February 8th at Artful Gallery and provide something to delight or offend any visitors before disappearing at 4pm.
