“Stan Buglass' exhibition, Auto Deco, presents paintings and sculpture that use found forms from the street to blur the line between abstraction and reality. These semi-abstract, rather semi-representational works echo commercial and industrial objects. They are undulating remnants and rejects of forgotten architecture and mechanical forms reorganised to become a remnant or ruin of what they once were, while becoming something else entirely. These precarious recollections of buildings and machines transport us to a realm of ageing infrastructure, where thick drops of glazed oil paint run down architectural facades and accumulate in crevices. Painting and sculpture work together to create a fragmented illusion of walls and passageways, suggesting a sense of human transience.
Buglass shows us weathered man-made forms as remnants of the recent past, yet they appear to be objects of the future.”
