Art in the Apartment

We take a look at the art that is currently taking residence in the apartment.

STATIC are two London-based artists, Tom Jackson and Craig Evans, whose backgrounds in Graphic Communications and Fine Art fuse to create unique bodies of work using screen-printing techniques and layered glass.  In these works STATIC present their signature style of layering glass, but they have incorporated texture and materiality into the work using wood slats, ash, dried flowers and reclaimed wallpaper.

 

STATIC continue to push the boundaries of portraiture and image making.  The graphic and patterned imagery is created through a combination of screen-printing and mixed media techniques.  The figures oscillate between the layers of glass and the detritus of flowers, wood, ash and printed paper.  Although seductively beautiful and rich with colour and texture, there is an underlying tension between beauty and decay, the real and the imagined, the figurative and the abstract.

 

Jackson and Evans have collaborated since 2006 and have shown internationally including solo shows in Japan, Milan and Singapore and in group shows in India and the UK.
