Helen Johnson, Argument, 2017

2017

Digital archival print with deboss, gold foil and nylobag silk screen overlays
44.5 x 50cm
Edition of 20 + 5APs, signed and numbered


ICA is delighted to present a new edition by Helen Johnson, created to mark her solo exhibition Warm Ties (1 Feb – 16 Apr 2017) held at the ICA in collaboration with Artspace, Sydney.

The edition utilises Johnson’s signature layered painting style as a basis for the print. Johnson uses the building up of surfaces as both a technically-driven choice and a critical one, using layering as a metaphor to question the forces and schema at play in the on-going creation of the Australian identity.

A digital archival print with deboss, gold foil and nylobag silk screen overlays, Argument depicts two people deep in conversation, or arguing.
