Jonny Niesche reduces painting and sculpture to their most fundamental forms: colour, light and perception. His abstract compositions ooze from the centre outwards in swathes of carefully rendered pastel hues. With symmetrical rectangular forms, the works are evocative of Minimalist sculptors such as Anne Truitt and Donald Judd. Instead of seeing his works as painting or sculpture, the artist sees them as ‘image-objects,’ shifting between the two disciplines. The works utilise a variety of techniques and materials including metal stretchers, voile, digital colour selection and dye sublimation - a process that uses heat to transfer dye. Neither opaque nor see-through, they appear to float and pulsate, changing from fixed images to dynamic events.
