SCOTT LICZNERSKI
b. 1987, United KingdomBorn in Scotland, 1987. Lives and works in London.
Licznerski’s bold, gestural, and sensitively refined works set delicate tensions between repeated action and consequence. Surfaces are progressively manipulated through transactions of silence and noise – holding and tightening the looseness of painting until a new language emerges.
He is influenced by the situational navigation of urban fabrics, censorship, the theatre of existence, and the beautiful accidents our cities subconsciously spew. Recurring themes inhis work explore preoccupations with limits, duality, trace, control, and the non-intentional.
In our immediately accessible and throw-away cultures, it approaches the redirection of focus and permanence to hold intrigue and alter thought: capturing a moment which can only happen once.
