Julian Hooper

Empties

Reading Room
Friday 5 August – Saturday 3 September

Julian Hooper’s images emerge out of reduced configurations of abstract shapes and motifs. His paintings exploit the linear style of his drawings, and introduce elements of collage with pieces of painted canvas adhered to the front and sides of the supports. He often favours a graphic construction over painterly nuance, exploiting the reductive simplicity of drawing, and making room for additions such as the trompe l’oeil painted timber frames, and the physical properties of torn canvas.

Hooper’s paintings present themselves as riddles that need to be carefully considered and turned over; closer to being masks than portraits, in that they attempt to conceal their personal meanings.
