Gillian Bolton, 2024 graduate of the KABK, “paints his canvases with precise nuances of colour and repetition. He investigates the structural framework of grid systems. Within this framework, colours and shapes interact dynamically, conveying rhythm and tension to the viewer. Gillian’s work uses multiple layers of watercolour and oil paint, revealing a delicate relationship between structure, emotion, the urge for freedom and control. In his work he strives for visual harmony and communicates the path to get there”.
