The work of Gareth Jenkins reduces concept in his paintings. In the past the work was developed from urban culture, man made structures, the walls and spaces that went into the make up of our architectonic environment and the aerial view of the roads around it. Perhaps to the viewer they still echo these concepts but to the artist it is less about where it came from and more about what it is and how it is in the painting. For Gareth the line in its simplest form can be used to convey a sense of the object while asserting an abstract spatial structure. From this perspective he has tried to control the paints natural need to flow and has created a series of paintings that discuss the task of creating sharp edged lines out of a liquid substance.
