The inspiration for the theme of the Formation exhibition revolves around subtly observable meanings when thoughts, ideas, and structures are placed in a logical design. These ideas and designs, when structured correctly convey a message when in (correct) formation. Information. As such, the artworks in the Formation exhibition convey thoughts, feelings, and/or emotions in a thoroughly abstract minimalist way.
The Formation exhibition sees Graham bringing his trademark geometric structure, and bold colours, pushing the boundaries of maximalist creations in a minimalist style. Graham challenges himself as an artist to do as much as possible within the scope of minimalist artworks. The paintings within the Formation exhibition are on a large 120cm x 90cm canvas platform. Every line, every colour, and every shape needs to carry the maximum level of impact and meaning while still complementing the surrounding components.
