These new pieces continue Jonny Niesche’s fascination with the qualities of surface, and experience of sensation and memory. However, for the first time his pictorial works are devised in the landscape format – a shift away from a direct relationship with the human body that past works inspired. Also on view are tall gradient works that are the artist’s exact height, framed on three sides with gold mirror and have been referred to as a kind of self-portraiture.
