Laurence Noga Soft Green Filtered Red 2/-, 2023 Acrylic, Vintage papers and collage on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About I am interested in peripheral associations and imperfect colour relationships interplayed through an industrial and geometric aesthetic. Personal themes and undercurrents and a sense of history comes from collective and individual memories. Many of the elements in my work are from my father's collection of objects and memorabilia in his garage - hundreds of tools, sheet music, packets, washers, menus, books and photographs. Their selection and use activates an open approach reliant on the environment and experimentation, alongside a human response to the mysterious, and forgotten items and their poetic sense of history. A long term interest in the "Bauhaus' particularly Moholy Nagy, Josef Albers and Paul Klee drives the unpredictability/predictability of the colour handling. These relationships aim to disorientate the viewer, as surface facture is used translucently, or with a sudden density. The colour is often disbursed, or used in compartments, to create a deliberate, and odd depth of field. Education Wimbledon College of Art in 1981 - 4, Byam Shaw (Central St Martins) 1990 -1.

I am exploring a personal iconography and phenomenology and how that can be important within both memory and place: such as the look and feel of my mother's musty sheet music collection from her time as a jazz vocalist in clubs and dance bands, or the crumpled menus (some with hand written changes) from the Caprice restaurant that my father worked at for many years. The colour is built up through close colour tones in an intimate and personal way, through transparency and opacity allowing the surface of the paint to permeate structure. You must not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell or exploit any works. In doing so, you endanger our relationships with artists, and directly jeopardise the charitable work we do.
