Mark Francis: PULSE

Borrowing from scientific imagery and maps of both the natural and manmade world, Mark Francis’ recent work renews one’s interest in abstraction. The exhibition centres around three large diptychs, titledTimbre I, II, and III, in which Francis responds directly to sound and vibration. The paintings of Mark Francis present us with rhythmic compositions that seem part-electronic, part-organic. Cadences made material with forms strung on supports throbbing across the picture plane. The content is neither figurative nor abstract. What are they? Pictures of things from so close up, that they seem to pixelate.
