Nathan Ingram - Chaos & Order
Spraypaint on glass, 1260 x 960mm (framed)
About the Artwork: Nathan Ingram offsets the 'chaos' of the organic shapes and lines with the 'order' of the pristine and controlled matt black foreground. The matte foreground layer creates a striking contrast to the blue colour which is applied to the back of the glass. The gloss of the glass and organic line work in the "squiggle" shape creates movement through the flat surface. A stunning, dark example of Dr Suits newest works.
About the Artist: Nathan Ingram, or pseudonymously Dr Suits, is a Christchurch-based artist and designer with backgrounds in fashion and urban art. After gaining attention for a range of street interventions across post-quake Christchurch, Ingram’s profile has continued to grow. Ingram shifts between various surfaces and modes of production, exploring diverse processes and materials. This diversity reveals an adventurous nature as a maker not beholden to tradition and an output that defies straightforward categorisation. His work is often grounded in graphic qualities of line, colour, and texture, and importantly the influence of the urban environment as a space of transient presence and constant physical flux. His most recent work is fixated on process, the outcomes of repetition and chance, and the ability to translate his creative approaches to various spaces and media, from repurposed architectural forms to increasingly larger outdoor walls.
