Jack Dunnett

Jack Dunnett is a painter who merges techniques of traditional oil painting with explorations into reactions between household chemicals, building materials and found pigments. Working with processes which build up and strip away layers, Jack creates paintings which examine relationships between prescriptive mark-making and chance elements, combining structure and chaos to create scenes which hold themselves in a state of balanced tension. Depicting stories from an unreliable narrator, the building and redacting of each surface represents the flawed and grasping nature of memory and perception. This culminates in a picture which presents itself as informative yet questioning, demanding that the image be filtered again through the lens of the viewer.
