Circles On Sunday the 16th of September 2OO1, the English artist
Julian Broadhurst, will open an exhibition of his resent feedback-noise
images as part of The BBQ Project Berlin. Broadhurst has three canvases
1500mm by 1300mm that are composed of a geometric underscore similar to his
more often printed geometric works, however the painted, hyper-magnified
image disintegrates into broken lines, and Broadhurst becomes the imposer
of digital feedback noise, a technique he has borrowed from the
imperfections that are experienced when one scans an image and enlarges it.
The Images are titled Cloud Circles I - III and reproduce and develop the
visual elements of a drawn image of the same title, reproduced on the Exhibition
Poster that is posted over the site of Berlin city. The resulting works in
the gallery are 3 feedback-noise-paintings, based on this original image by
Broadhurst, reproduced and bill posted around Berlin. "Paint gives me
a revolutionary freedom to disrupt in this sense." Julian states.
"I approach paint principally as a printer... I turn from the pure
thought of the image, in a complex Geometric purity, to the rendering of
image, in print, and by inviting the physical reality of imperfections and imprecision
to feedback image noise of photoenlargement into paint."

Circles Die BBQ Galerie zeigt vom Sonntag, dem 16. Sept., bis Freitag,
dem 21. Sept., die neuen Arbeiten des Londoner Op-Art Künstlers Julian
Broadhurst. In seiner ersten Ausstellung in Berlin stellt Broadhurst
großformatige Acrylbilder aus, die auf die elementaren Formen der Geometrie
aufbauen. Riesig große oder winzig kleine, in industrieller
Sonderausführung hergestellte geometrische Schablonen ermöglichen dem
Künstler, trotz des reduzierten Formenrepertoires und des Verzichts auf
Freihandzeichnung, eine unendliche Vielfalt unvergleichlicher Variationen
und Kombinationen. In England wurde Broadhurst erst kürzlich durch seine
"public art" Arbeiten bekannt, Zeichnungen, die er in der
Kunstzeitschrift Frieze veröffentlichte, als seien die Seiten des Magazins
die Wände einer Galerie.
