Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
‘The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote about the idea of ‘inscape’, an artistic process that does much to define what Alex Jorgensen paints. This is not to say that he is an overtly expressive painter. He is far too self-contained and understated for that (and I cannot think of an artist who would find the idea of self-expression trickier. His work is much more about expressiveness). Here instead is the least coercive ordering of things, a gentle sorting process, a way in which he is continually re-focussing on lines of horizon, on centres, borders, meetings and configurations of form and colour; assimilating, filtering, condensing. This is a landscape of considerable economy, a hard-achieved process, where visual perception and internal thoughts are reworked and remade into distilled constructive sequences, sort of assemblages in paint.’ - David Whiting
