Three Forms

Product description

In Three forms, Neil Stanton invites us into a subtly charged space where figuration dissolves into abstraction and the familiar becomes enigmatic. The three figures, while unmistakably female, are rendered in distressed shapes that hover between representation and symbol. Through this distillation, the artist reflects on the recognisable essence of the female form rather than its surface.

Threading through each figure are faint, circuit-like lines—an understated but powerful motif that fuses the organic and the technological. These delicate traces suggest a continuum between the primal and the digital, reflecting how human identity is increasingly defined by both our physical presence and technological extensions.

Visually, the work is compelling in its interplay of texture and context. The digitally generated surface evokes skin, stone or cloth—tactile motifs that counterbalance the purposeful flatness of the print. The forms sit against a backdrop that hints at ancient cave walls and the earliest human attempts at mark-making, lending layered depth where memory, archetype and the present moment converge.

Three forms is a quietly powerful statement, simultaneously minimal and rich in resonance. It works beautifully as part of Neil Stanton’s representation at Water Street Gallery—inviting viewers to pause, reflect upon and continually return.
