John RanceMy work involves painting and sculpture and the two will often overlap to create a 3D painted relief sculpture. I have used a variety of materials including welded steel,bronze and plastics, but I'm currently using painted wood, worked against it's natural properties to set up questions in the mind of the viewer: one series forms wood to look like folded paper. At heart I am a colourist and am interested in it's physical and emotional effects on both artist and viewer.
My other love is life drawing which keeps me attuned to the core values and discipline of observational drawing. I'm a member of The Norwich 20 Group and NOVA and exhibit regularly in the UK and occasionally, Europe. http://www.johnranceartist.co.uk |
