'Ceiling Painting' 2005 / artists' paint only

Brendan Lyons uses artists' paint as the core reference point from which to explore themes such as perception and context.
Many of the paintings are made of artists' paint only. The entire surface, structure, and support are made of this one element. They are often then attched to the wall using further paint as an adhesive.
Other works consist of sheets and strips of dried artists' paint, which are then placed on selected objects – such as windows, hatches, doors, and stretched canvas.

Through experimentation with the techniques of painting, and the material of artists’ paint itself, Brendan Lyons uses the traditions and references of western painting as a base from which to investigate various issues of interest.
The paintings deal with issues of perception, implied space, context, surface, framing, language, signs, reference, history, time, givens, boundary, attachment, ambiguity and association. Oppositions such as internal/external; negative/positive; front/back; use/form; surface/structure; simple/complex. Undecidables such as painting and/or support; signifier and/or signified; representation and/or original; subject and/or object.
The selection of ‘what’ to make from this artists’paint and it’s context, are central to Brendan’s practice.
