Dancing Philosopher Playing Air Guitar 
'The Dancing Philosophers' This new exhibition shows a range of Chris Gollon's recent paintings, some of which are featured in the new book 'CHRIS GOLLON: Humanity in Art' by Tamsin Pickeral (Hyde & Hughes). Signed copies of the book are available at the gallery, price £20. (See Latest News)
The works in this exhibition include some of the latest monotypes which Chris Gollon produced in early 2010 at the Goldmark Atelier in Rutland. They show his many innovations, and the unusual use of 'positives' and solvents in the process.
Still Life with Wine, Cheese & Fruit
Printmaking--in particular monotypes--has been a major influence on Gollon's painting techniques. With the "wrong end" of the brush he often scratches outlines into the surface paint to reveal an electric yellow or red in the underpainting, making lines which draw and animate the objects or figures, and which have considerable lyrical beauty (for example, in this still life). Gollon also paints water back in to remove acrylic pigment to create great movement, as in the 'Dancing Philosopher Playing Air Guitar (above).
Sketch for a Woman
The use of solvents in monotypes, and how they disperse pigment, Gollon has also imported into acrylic painting by using water in a staining process (see the staining technique used on the neck of 'Sketch for a Woman'). The exhibition comprises monotypes, etchings, and recent paintings, many of which are featured and described in Tamsin Pickeral's monograph. 
Chris Gollon and IAP Fine Art were featured on Alan Yentob's BBC1 programme 'Imagine' in December 2009, focusing on OWN ART. IAP Fine Art is a member of the Arts Council of England's excellent OWN ART scheme which allows UK residents to spend from £100 to £2,000 to purchase a painting or print, then pay over 10 months on interest-free credit. You can also use OWN ART to part pay for a work above £2,000.
