Adrian Pritchard

Adrian Pritchard captures motion in his paintings using practiced techniques such as pouring on a single point on a flat canvas before spinning to disperse the colours. The works are left to dry flat for several months. Some ‘grow’ thick layers of paint which can produce stalactite-like forms; others crack revealing sub-layers below. Viscous liquids are chosen for their symmetrical and entropic qualities – watching paint dry has never been so interesting.  Yasmin Ali - British Architects Journal "The Critics Choice" August 2009
