Otis Tamsauskas and Jan Winton
In Conversation- A show featuring painting and prints By Jan & Otis

Jan Winton - Show Statement
Jan Winton has a 40 year practice in Printmaking and Painting and Art Education.Jan experiments with blended techniques, that incorporate found images, hand drawing ,painting, and photography to produce images full of paradox and double meaning while illuminating the fragile nature of subjectivity, and unconscious perception. Recent work has been focused on the isolated formal elements of colour and line.

Otis Tamasauskas - Show Statement
“Images are more than ideas, they are cloisters or a vortex of ideas fused by energy”. Ezra Pound

At the present, I am fascinated with the print press and the overlaying of colour. I experiment with simple materials such as paper and ink.   My choice of materials are dictated not only by their physical properties, but also by their symbolic associations. I do enjoy the idea that certain materials are more profound than words, even while perceiving that words can reinforce visual and conceptual associations.In the end, I guess I feel one thing is certain... my wanting to make printed images.
