THE ARTWORK
In this work by Stuart Semple, writing, faces and graphic marks share a surface crossed by blue and white fields and bright accents. The direct language of words meets recognisable images and free interventions, creating a composition that continually changes register.
The 2005 mixed-media work combines acrylic, charcoal, spray paint, marker and glitter. The variety of materials corresponds to that of the marks: some elements emerge immediately, others require closer reading. The eye moves between message, figure and surface through an energetic image where communication and emotional tension remain closely connected.
