Ikon Exhibition and Talk
I have extensively referenced Hamish Fulton previously. Seeing his work in exhibition was a different experience. The work was more powerful than I had realised partly because of the scale. The simplicity of the graphics and the use of colour is very arresting. There is a rhythm to the images which mirrors the rhythm of walking. It was interesting to hear him talk about the reasons for his use of colour and his use of particular words. Most interesting was the reasons why he walked and how he saw this as an artistic experience.
