Inspired by Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, The Averard Hotel, curated by Slate Projects, is a new project space located in a previously abandoned hotel in Lancaster Gate. A new painting, Interface_CMYK#05 (2016) is on view for the duration of the show.

Exhibition dates: 10 January – 31 January (inclusive), open Thursday - Sunday 12-6pm
The Averard Hotel, 10 Lancaster Gate, London W2 3LH

Studio Views: Unique Inkjet 'Drawings'

Charley Peters, SEcretion (CMYK) (2012), Unique Inkjet Prints on Paper

Above are part of a series of 'drawings' made on an inkjet printer by scanning digitally drawn lines in cyan, magenta, yellow and black. The drawn lines are moved intuitively during the scanning process, causing movement and shifts in scale across the prints. Each colour is then printed systematically on top of the previous one, each output is unique and produced by chance.

CMYK Sketches (Detail)

Developmental sketches exploring a limited Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black palette. The paint is applied in layers onto the paintings' surfaces, where the colour mixing occurs – rather than mixing it on a palette prior to application. The process continues with my exploration of replicating mechanised image-making processes by hand, in this case suggesting a four colour printing process or screenprinting.

Above are some new sketches for a series of paintings using a CMYK palette. The CMYK colour model (also called process colour or four colour) is a subtractive colour model used in colour printing. CMYK refers to the four inks used in such a printing process: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (Key). Ink is usually (but not always) applied in the order of the abbreviation. The CMYK model works by partially or entirely masking colours on a lighter, usually white, background. The ink reduces the light that would otherwise be reflected. Such a model is called subtractive because inks “subtract” brightness from white.

The sketches develop the Ben-Day dot and pixel works started in 2010, where hand-rendered marks are evocative of mechanical printing or digitised image processes.
