John A. Blythe is concerned with the elemental, he makes images that while abstract, are also somehow familiar, that explore the aesthetic intelligence of materials themselves. Blythe works with colour photographic films and papers, but uses only chemistry and surface, allowing the innate characteristics of fluid interactions that manifest form in response to the same natural forces that influence form in nature. Blythe is looking for an emotional resonance that embodies the sublime in natural form and moves photography away from the anthropocentric lens. Blythe works with obsolete photographic materials that are decades old, yet still vibrant with colour and possibility, which might otherwise be redundant. This current strand of Blythe’s ongoing portfolio ‘Chromogenesis’ evolved from his artist residency at The University of Derby and investigates a space between photography and painting, drawing on practices from both disciplines. Blythe graduated from Oxford Brookes University with a Master of Fine Art in Fine Art in 2019. Blythe has exhibited widely including solo and group shows. Most recently Blythe was invited to exhibit at Le Salon d’Automne in Paris and Radical Residency VIII at Unit 1 Gallery Workshop in London. His work is held in private collections wordwide.
