Welcome to Ian Gonczarow.
If there is something that you wish to discuss, feel free to contact me, here on the left.
My continued research into drawing and painting explores methods to reduce selected elements of visual language beyond their primary function. The focus at this time is to engage with open-ended narrative structures, through the juxtaposition of disparate imagery and painterly techniques. Potential narrative is opened up, whilst simultaneously closed down or limited by inclusion of graphic language and text. The accumulated languages belonging to both texts and particular types of imagery (Gestural mark or sampled graphic) are used to negate each other, in an attempt to offer a transcendence from their particular associated or accumulated histories. I aim for a new space to explore my personal dialogue on current social, economic, art world and political situations.
