With a courtesy drink of @jameson_es. . Collectors catalogue via DM or email on [email protected] . MKNZM (Mechanism), at Swinton Gallery, is Augustine Kofie’s first solo show in Spain. Comprised of the artist’s signature constructivist, graffuturist aesthetic, the show includes collage on wood, painting on canvas, and etched found clipboards. Beginning with a three-month-long process of mechanical drawing, Kofie created a collection of sketches which would become the basis for collage and painting. Stretching the circle which anchors much of his work into an oblong pushed the sketches in a highly technical, mechanical direction (hence the title). The oblongs began operating like belts, linking parts of conceptual machines, evoked in 2D as parallel, fold-out worlds. Combining Spanish ephemera (sent by Swinton) with paper from his deep inventory, Kofie built up a collage series in which individual works explore gradients of a single color, determined and inspired by the found paper. Once the color palette for the show had been established, the paintings followed suit. /////////////:////////// . TODO LISTO EN @swintongallery: #MKNZM de Augustine Kofie @keepdrafting.

A partir de la estética constructivista, graffuturista del artista, la exposición incluye collage sobre madera, pintura sobre lienzo, y maderas portapapeles grabadas. El primer paso para la construcción de la obra consistió en un proceso de tres meses de dibujo mecánico durante el cual Kofie creó una colección de bocetos que se convertirían en la base del collage. . #augustinekofie #kofie #AKMKNZM (en Swinton Gallery)
