Jen Stark harnesses the power of line and repetition to create technicolour works that vibrate with kinetic energy. Her iterative patterns appear across multiple mediums including painting, installation, sculpture and animation. Op Artists like Bridget Riley and Marina Apollonio are key inspirations, as well as the Finish Fetish artists of 1960s Los Angeles. Consciousness and spirituality are central themes in Stark’s practice. Mono Chrome (2017), for instance, is a large wooden relief made of swirling rings of white, grey and black. While each individual tone is flat, together they shift, flow and merge, encouraging viewers to lose themself in an altered state of perception - much like meditation, or an acid trip.
