Wargames
Wargames by Gavin Brown. Ink and oil on canvas.
'I became inspired to revisit printmaking after seeing several of my textile designs from the early 1980s displayed in the Gallery of Victoria's Mix Tape exhibition of 2013. I have worked in linocut printing in the past and have amassed a catalogue of images and designs from which I have drawn in this series to create collaged works reassembled on the canvas. My approach for this work has been to take a low-tech method and reimagine this in the spirit of current digital printing aesthetics, resulting in images that are manipulated, split and reflected back upon themselves'.
