Alexander Jowett

ALEXANDER JOWETT

Alexander Jowett is a peripatetic artist who has wandered the world observing and interacting with a global culture. His works focus on universal contemplative themes using minimalist means.
Alexander Jowett incorporates a variety of traditional and non-traditional mediums in his art explorations. Often using a variety of materials (linen, wool, denim, rope, found material etc.) to express aspects of how we see and feel art. Working in series that draw upon a use of repetitive process Jowett’s works follow from a Kantian philosophy by which we see not based simply upon what is in front of us but by past experiences. Jowett’s use of material is a catalyst for the viewer to bring their own past experiences into the works in front of them. Whilst the repetitive process is minimal in means the works themselves are more akin to aesthetic philosophical dissertations than truly minimalist artworks.

Arno Kortschot

Arno Kortschot was born in the Netherlands and trained as a sculptor/spatial designer at the Academy of Fine Arts Kampen. He has exhibited in the Netherlands, Germany, Canada and the US and has been commissioned for many private and public collections. Kortschot’s work searches for the connection of form and material in relation to the environment with strong influences of Minimalism and geometric abstraction, especially present in the architecture and design of his native land. He relishes in the timeless and neutral characteristics of zinc, placing it along bright colours, and sometimes LED lighting to shape his works. His works inspire the viewers to create their own spatial relationship and dialogue with the art about what is found with the most modest of forms.
