Noël St. John Harnden | British figurative Artist
Artist Statement:
As we stand on the threshold of a new world of technological, cultural and societal change, I am fascinated by how these things are influencing the collective and individual psyche of the Human species, and the existential fallout that lies therein. For me art is about the juxtaposition of artist and viewer engaging one another through the subject matter, as a window that allows each side to engage in a multifaceted dialogue of unspoken exchange, in a way that transcends verbal communication, to trigger the multiple levels of, mind, body, spirit, and subconscious stimulation.
Noël St. John Harnden conceptual ideas is manifested in varying treatment of shape, line and color along with the inclusion of the recognizable human form/body. However, I view the figure in an abstract and transparent way which integrates the body as a structure into the background and surface in a unified field. I view the body as an extension of energy, the personality within the form, from the quantum to the infinite all are one and the same. Layering is both a physical aspect of the painting process and an intellectual addition of personal interest for me, in, time, space, quantum possibilities, metaphysics and consciousness. I aim to imbue my work with a linear connection from my subconscious to my creation, and to leave a resonance within the work to be tuned into by the viewer. I aim to transcend the 2D surface and move into the artwork as a doorway to multiple dimensional perceptions of finite and infinite, solid and fluid, and realms beyond the beyond.
