Aleph Contemporary for AccessArt

Nelson Diplexcito’s imaginative and beautiful multimedia works and paintings are colourful and saturated topographies of lines, pigment, image and space. To achieve this complex suggestion of memory and lushness of hue and texture, Diplexcito often begins with a photograph. “This is where painting begins for me, with an image that has the thinness of an apparition. The photographs that I use must have the ‘thinness of ghosts’ in order that they can be developed into drawings and then paintings.” 
As well, the artist uses the device of cropping to create picture planes that have a balance and radicalism all at once. Recessive space is created through linear and tonal difference, engendering a tension between figure and ground. “The pace of mark, weight and spatial occupation of the figure are important to me.” 

Diplexcito serves as a senior lecturer in Fine Art, Painting at the Wimbledon College of Arts and holds his MA, Painting, The Royal College of Art, London and his BA, Fine Art, Grays School of Art, Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen. 

The artist was honored with a solo exhibit at Galleri S7, Stockholm, Sweden, 2011 and is the recipient of the Bronze Award for the Nanjing International Art Exhibition.
