DescriptionNeal Rock studied MA Fine Art at Central Saint Martins. He paints with pigmented silicon, piped onto deep three-dimensional supports using icing bags. The densely layered, glistening constructions of paint are baroque in their decorative excess. Their visceral surfaces occasionally enclose synthetic flowers or other appropriated objects of commercial decoration; the silicon itself spreads across and away from its support like an organic form. Rock orchestrates our responses to the work between fascination and gentle revulsion.
