"The past few years I’ve spent much of my time going through my film photos of graffiti, travel and various rich moments in time over the last 30 years. I’ve become obsessed with the attributes that film could capture, the textured emotional quality, saturated colors, unpredictable cropping and natural vignettes. All of these natural filters of film coveted today by the digital era.

With Hence (Vignette) my aim was to visually explore the dual definitions of a vignette in both film and literature. In photography it represents a darker border utilizing a blur or shadow at the periphery of an image while in literature vignettes are rich in imagery to create vivid, detailed descriptions of a moment in time and a character's instant experience."

Framed size: 820mm (W) x 835mm (H)

About the artist:

Modern pop artist POSE (Jordan Nickel) has remained distinguished in his inventive ability to take everyday, throw-away things and introduce them into the world to communicate something much deeper. While his work relies on harnessing very simple human emotions like love, loss and triumph, it’s presented in a complex union of vivid colours and layered application that aims for something much more profound than what’s at the literal, surface level.

POSE’s diversity as a visual artist is apparent in grandiose outdoor settings through large-scale murals to the intricate bodies of work developed within his studio.

POSE takes from the world around him – whether it be bits of found signs or his wife’s old childhood books. His attempt at making sense of the environment around him started with graffiti and has matured into studio work with multiple dimensions and layers that are a pop blend of illustration, lettering and comic book inspired aesthetics. 

As his work evolves, so do POSE’s methods of encouraging his audience to let their imaginations run wild. “I get very obsessed with the work that I create. It yanks me out of bed early in the morning and doesn’t let me sleep at night. I get really high from the relationship I get with a body of work.” Seeing more than just the value of the walls in a gallery setting, POSE has added three-dimensional installations to his repertoire. The result is an experiential art environment that the viewer can exist within and encounter on multiple levels.
