John Gammans | Artist | Abstract Impressionist

“For the past few years my artwork has been responding to a simple question that I put to myself, how do we visualise the invisible? Specifically, my fascination lays with how we can try to visualise, translate and record the movement of the wind, and the dynamic influence this has on the world around us. I focus my work on conceptualising what wind patterns might look like, were we able to see them, as well as recording and observing the movement of physical objects, induced by the air’s interaction.

I work in an expressive and intuitive manner to produce my paintings and personal response drawings. In conjunction, I also use self-built wind drawing machines, to facilitate a non-conscious and unbiased recording of the wind’s activity. These wind drawings are beautiful creations in themselves and in turn help inform my artwork. I work in a variety of mediums on paper and board including ink, acrylic, oil and cold wax.“
