Jonny Niesche channels the influence of American minimalists in a playful limited edition print.

Champagne Lexus dissolves blush pink into chocolate brown to form an effervescent shade of ‘Champagne’. For the artist, the specificity of this tone recalls a kitsch shade of automotive paint from his youth, as well as the techniques of artists such as Donald Judd. 

The edition is based upon an original textile work, refined into the medium of print. For the artist, the print becomes complete once collectors have connected their own memories and emotions to the colours.

When I’m giving a title to a work I often rely on allusions and tangents and evocative phrases, because I’m keen not to dictate a meaning to a viewer, or how the work should be read.

Portrait of Jonny Niesche
Jonny Niesche6 collaborationsAustralian artist Jonny Niesche sprinkles abstract minimalism with a touch of kitsch. His incandescent compositions ooze from the centre outwards in swathes of carefully rendered pastel hues, all dosed in the rebellious glitter of glam rock. Unabashed by comparison, Jonny is an artist who is excited about art. He lists a reel of names from whom he takes inspiration, including his university tutor Heimo Sobering, contemporary artist Isa Genzken, and, of course, king of glam rock, David Bowie. While his aesthetic is incredibly streamlined, his daily practice operates within very open perimeters, working in a communal studio based on an ethos of sharing equipment and offering supportive critique. In the studio, Jonny’s process is highly technical and fastidious, using a variety of techniques and materials including metal stretchers, voile, digital colour selection and dye sublimation – a process that uses heat to transfer dye.
