GERALD SHEPHERD - IONIST ART


I have been working on my radical approach to art since the Seventies. I am interested in developing a formalised meditative technique where the role of the artist is to provide an intellectual vehicle to experiment with. I formed a number of pioneering art organisations in the Eighties and Nineties, however since 1997 I have been working in isolation. Over the years a number of stylistic categories have become evident:

MEDITATIVE PROCESS ART:
A pictorial style which merges painting with mathematics, musical forms or concepts borrowed from other time based media to create sequential and developmental formats. Images are elaborated (or processed) across the picture plane to produce complex interacting webs or mats. I have recently began a series of NEW ERA PAINTINGS which simplify and reduce in scale this procedure.

LANDSCAPE MEDITATIONS:
A reinvention of The English Landscape Tradition using formalised structures and series of condensed images to present a many layered and multifaceted portrayal of the natural world.

IONIST PORTRAITS:
My attempt to create a new portrait painting tradition. Aspects of the sitters’ character are presented in the form of words, numbers and various kinds of symbol which are then examined and extended within carefully defined structures.
