{"product_id":"jonathan-hayter-the-walk","title":"Jonathan Hayter — The Walk","description":"\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA large-scale assemblage work by \u003cstrong\u003eJonathan Hayter\u003c\/strong\u003e, titled \u003cem\u003eThe Walk\u003c\/em\u003e, in which painting and constructed relief are allowed to jostle for position.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe underlying painted surface is loose and atmospheric: passages of chalky pink, turquoise, deep green, blue and flashes of red are variously brushed, scratched, scored and allowed to run. Over this Hatter has fixed an arrangement of painted timber elements — lengths, frames and fragments that project physically from the picture plane. Some appear architectural, others almost like pieces of dismantled furniture or studio debris. A large white paint pot lid sits among them with the strange authority of a moon, plate, window or target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is something pleasingly unresolved about the whole thing. The title, \u003cem\u003eThe Walk\u003c\/em\u003e, suggests movement, and the composition does seem to ask the eye to travel: along the long red vertical, around the circular form, through the overlapping frames and into the dense green passages beneath. Nothing quite settles into representation, but there are tantalising suggestions of doors, windows, paths and structures — the visual fragments of somewhere half remembered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction places the work firmly in the territory between \u003cstrong\u003epainting, collage and sculpture\u003c\/strong\u003e. There are echoes of post-war British assemblage in the use of humble timber and found-looking forms, but also something of an artist's studio wall about it: pieces accumulated, shifted around, painted over and eventually finding their place. The visible fixings, worn edges, incised marks and thick passages of paint are not disguised; they are part of the language of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is housed within a deep, box-like frame, giving the projecting elements room to exist as objects rather than simply additions to a painted surface. At \u003cstrong\u003e131 cm high\u003c\/strong\u003e, it has considerable presence — less a picture hung on a wall than a small piece of architecture attached to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSigned and dated \u003cstrong\u003eJH '16\u003c\/strong\u003e to the lower right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jonathan Hayter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Walk\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixed media, paint and constructed timber assemblage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mounted within a deep box frame\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signed and dated JH '16 lower right\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood condition overall, with surface texture, exposed fixings, scratches, paint runs and irregularities inherent to the construction and the artist's working process.
