John Copeland is interested in the energy of the initial gesture of the painting. The translation of emotion through body motion to canvas, in a conscious but unfiltered manner. The new works are about letting go, letting go of the anxieties of painting, while confrontationally motivating simultaneously constricting, and through that process, creating room for a more intuitive expression. Vibrant brush and line work, paint applied with a sculptural approach rising from the canvas. Applied, scraped and pulled, every gesture intact, the very motion recorded. Bold, dynamic and stripped down, while synchronously poetically elusive. Figurative and abstract, earnest, precise, ambiguous and disarmingly loose, this new body of work stand as a jubilant testament to the year-long process Copeland has undertaken in its creation.
