Painter Jack Duplock is the sixth artist selected for Coleman Project Space’s annual residency. The London-based artist will spend 5 weeks in the gallery developing the variant strands of his drawing practice in a single site-specific installation.

Duplock’s savvy reassembly of pop cultural simulacra and art historical concerns extends from the American West Coast school of figuration, a fusion of low-fi countercultural and high-art painterly sensibilities that emerged during the early 1990s. Modes and moods of the movement pervade – surreal anti-narratives, ’zine-style collage, themes of alienation, dislocation – but Duplock’s intuitive amalgamation of timeless-bucolic and trend-driven urban contexts, is very much of this moment.

“Psychedelic Romanticism” is Duplock’s apt umbrella term for what he does: on walls, canvases and paper. Familiar painting constructs and motifs feature – the portrait, landscape, recycled punk and B-movie constellations - cut from source and rejoined as if outlandish designs for an Airfix kit configuration of a mental map. Duplock’s unpredictable yet rather obsessive handling of both everyday and less commonplace ephemera pulls the viewer, time and again, between received knowledge and personal experience of an image-heavy, technologically sophisticated culture.

Jack Duplock graduated from the RA in 2000 and has since shown internationally, a/o at Cynthia Broan and Cohan and Leslie Galleries, New York, Bloomberg Space, London and Arcuate Arte Contemporaneo, Monterey. Most recently he was included in Soul Stripper at Projet Midi Brussels, with a/o Bas de Wit, Andrew Mania and Thomas Raats. He has previously been selected both for the John Moores Painting Prize as well as the New Contemporaries.He is currently represented by the Agency.
