“John Slade’s work is an investigation of composition and form that seeks to familiarize the concepts and representation of captivity, dissolution and the passage of time, whilst seeking to systematise both the process and the subject of his work. Utilising a variety of techniques, notably drawing, painting and print, Slade methodically manipulates materials, and composition to misinform and induce elements of resistance and contradiction that reference the subjectivity of his chosen source material.”
– Charles Baudelaire
