Kenneth Lambert De-Interlaced (detail) 2018 |
De-interlaced is a technical term borrowed from
broadcast media, which in this situation represents the artist’s process of investigation,
analysis and final response. The response takes the format of a multi-panel
installation work. Each panel represents a specific area of research in which
media technologies have had a noted impact on the human psyche. The areas of
research represented in the work include personal identity, social interaction,
cultural identity, environmental, political and spirituality.
These outcomes have been represented as soft metallic
colour fields that intrude over the liquid mirror surfaces. The result is a series
of suspended multi-dimensional paintings that are simultaneously translucent, reflective
and chromatic in materiality. Further the artist’s intention goes beyond the physical
work to include the surrounding space. Light and colour refract onto the
gallery’s surfaces as the panels spin on their central axis. This immersive
experience can be harmonious, sometimes discordant, and totally dependent on the
external environmental forces of light, space and time.
“I strive
to create work which is a catalyst for an emotive resonance. A way of beguiling
the participant into a seemingly simple but deeply layered experience”.
Kenneth Lambert - Artist
Artist Statement
Lambert is a conceptually driven artist whose
practice investigates the human psyche through the lens of technology. His
practice extends across digital media and installation. Lambert approaches his
experimental art practice with the deliberation of a scientist and philosopher
combined. His intention is to entice the viewer into a state that is
self-reflective.
Lambert’s work has been recently recognized with
his inclusion in 2018 the Churchie Emerging Artist Prize, Lismore Portrait
Prize, Hidden Sculpture Walk and the Alice Prize. He is also this year’s
recipient of the Newington Armory Award: Artist in Residency and has been
invited to take part in 2019 Arteles Artist residency program in Finland.
