Examining the geometry of pattern, repetition and colour within her
surroundings, British artist Tess Jaray has explored painterly
perspective since the 1960s. This comprehensive and richly
illustrated volume was produced in celebration of a 2014 exhibition
of paintings and prints by Jaray. Although her work is resolutely
abstract, Jaray's two-dimensional work and public art - both of
which celebrate the vitality inherent within archetypal rhythms and
patterns - have been informed by her interest in the spaces of
Italian Renaissance art and architecture, along with more
contemporary influences. Jaray focuses on producing the illusion of
space, using perspective to create a field of spatial paradox that
equates to distance and closeness in the mind. In many of her works
the area of pattern - whether polygons, waves or rectangles - is
contained by a strong, grounding background colour, thereby
controlling the movement of the forms. From Italian architecture
and Islamic mosaics to Kazimir Malevich and Lucio Fontana, this
volume situates the artist within the tradition of abstract
painting and the history of art. Featuring texts by fellow artists,
alongside illustrations of a large group of Jaray's paintings, this
first monograph explores her contemporary influence.
British Conceptual artist John Stezaker is renowned for his
innovative approach to found photographic imagery. This artist book
focuses on his 'Crossing Over' series (2005-13), which reframes
image fragments from postcards to stimulate new readings. Building
upon Stezaker's corresponding 'The 3rd Person Archive' series, the
image fragments in this volume span the history of postcard
production. Moving from the Victorian era to the postwar period and
black and white to colour imagery, Stezaker focuses on the female
figure as well as notions of return and crossing back. Exploring
time and memory, Crossing Over frames seemingly minor details, such
as figures passing on a street corner or conversing on a park
bench, as well as the marks left by the physical movement of the
images themselves. Exploring time and memory, Stezaker focuses on

With a career spanning over five decades, Tess Jaray has
continually explored geometry, colour, pattern and repetition,
often inspired by architectural structures. Unlike the certainties
of mathematical geometry, Jaray focuses on what she describes as
the 'geometry of human relationships', challenging the viewers'
perception and relationship with the space surroundings us.
Accompanies the exhibition, Tess Jaray: Into Light at Marlborough
Fine Art, London (25 May - 17 June 2017) and is co-published by
Marlborough Fine Art and Ridinghouse.
