We are delighted to introduce British artist Christian Furr and his latest series called ‘Jouissance’. We will be exhibiting a large selection of these vibrant works at forthcoming exhibitions. In addition to the oil paintings, Furr’s ‘Jouissance’ collection has evolved into small print editions, with or without applied diamond dust. Furr’s latest series Jouissance was born after viewing an artificially generated explosion in a lab, a visual that remained with him as a conceptual framework. When Furr slowed the explosion down and played it backwards and forwards it looked to him like a painting – which he needed to paint. In painting the artificially generated explosion, the artist had made it ‘real’ and in doing so had turned it into something else. Furr also references the spectacular ending of the film Zabriskie Point; a five-minute sequence of a single explosion, repeated in super slow motion, demonstrates the abstract quality of film itself. Actual objects are transformed into a riot of colour and form. “My Jouissance works are about formlessness, they use colour to express what I want them to express. Colour has its own power”.
