Spectral Nation is a collaboration between Luke Frost, Jon Rundall, and Therese Vandling. Their work is a process-led exploration of screen printing and abstract composition. Emerging from the interplay of natural forces and the actions of the artists, their unique compositions are an exercise in colour interaction and the manipulation of irregularities within the print process. Compositions evolve across each series of work, with shifting details playing out on a larger scale. With layers applied in a painterly manner, their aleatoric approach builds up visually distorted textures, echoing psychedelic states of consciousness, and showing parallels with layered audio recordings. Their recent series of works ‘Erase Phase’ use an amalgam of masking techniques, monoprinting, hand pulled raw gestural first passes vs smoother blended gradients, creating visual tension and discordant colour combinations in increasingly complex scenes that are ambiguous and open to suggestion by the viewer. The Ambient Haze works are meditations on colour. Using a diffusion dither stencil technique to build up layers of gradients, expansive colour interactions arise. The half way line providing a reference point alluding to a horizon. Between them they have studied at Royal College of Art, London College of Printing, and Croydon Art College They have exhibited since 2009 with solo and group shows in the UK & Internationally (Neu Gallery, London 2009, Autobahn, Istanbul 2011, Galleri Storck, Oslo 2013, Beach, London 2014) This is Spectral Nation’s first appearance at the WCPF Their work is held at Galleri Storck, Oslo and Lancaster Museum of Art & History, Los Angeles, Soho House, Brown's.
