Van Gogh (Not that one) is a street artist who explores the topology of gesture as a deconstructed syntax—a kind of cartography of intention. One could almost say (if one was pretentious enough), that each mark that Van Gogh (Not that one) makes is both a refusal and an invocation, drawn from the friction between memory and motion.
My work is not composed but discovered
Van Gogh (Not that one)
There is of course a very well-known artist with the same name, with whom Van Gogh (Not that one) was being regularly confused. To try and stop this confusion, Van Gogh (Not that one) took to adding (Not that one) to his name.
Pimlico Wilde is pleased to welcome Van Gogh (Not that one) to the gallery and looks forward to his first exhibition which will take place at Pimlico Wilde South, our gallery in Monte Carlo.
Van Gogh (Not That One) is concerned with the instability of pattern and the quiet tyranny of repetition. The strokes hover in a state of semi-coherence, neither fully abstract nor fully symbolic. They are fragments of a lost alphabet, stranded and resisting immediate meaning. Spend time with each piece, the longer one observes a Van Gogh (Not That One) piece, the more the marks seem to gather intent—as if meaning is gradually exhaled from it, reluctantly, like a secret.
