Stephen Carley
My work is sometimes intentionally confrontational, sometimes intentionally beautiful. Profanities, congested space, white noise, ugly / beautiful, process led – ‘making a mark’.
Constructed paintings. Films. Drawing. Audio. Photography. Performance.
“His workplace is either a very tidy studio or a dirty laboratory. There is good reason for such order. Stephen requires a lot of things to hand. Everything has possibilities and potential. His palette is the myriad of acquired ephemera in which there is no hierarchy – elegant frames sit alongside plastic cable, the King and the Pawn kept in the same box”.
Sean Williams. From gallery essay for Geometry and Gesture, Bloc Projects 2022.
