Alan Kane
‘SPKR Etching L’ & ‘SPKR Etching R’ mimic their ubiquitous household namesakes through a kind of ‘Pop’ trompe l’oeil in very low relief. As with Kane’s recent paintings, these works - Kane's first etchings - come out of an interest in computer-produced and freely distributed ‘clip art’. The etchings combine masking, aquatint and an innovative etching process to make the most traditional art object from its digital beginnings. Alan Kane’s art takes diverse forms, from day-time TV in ‘Life Class / Today’s Nude’ (Artangel, 2009), to displaying collections of pottery (‘Home for Orphan Dishes, Whitechapel, 2011) and domestic Christmas lighting transforming the façade of Tate Britain (‘Home for Christmas’, 2017-18). Kane exhibits widely nationally and internationally, and his works are represented in the Arts Council Collection, British Council, Victoria & Albert Museum and Tate. Kane is based in Great Yarmouth and Tottenham.
