Desktop-Desktop #17 // Jonathan Zawada

09.04.08 - admin - art, desktop//desktop, feature article

In his recent exhibition ‘Boolean Values’, Jonathon Zawada reflects on the legacy of George Boole (the creator of Boolean Algebra) and his impact on today’s digital experiences. The resulting imagery is at first an exercise in intricate and precise illustration, but like all erudite bodies of work possesses a deeper relevance and critique on our immediate world. There is something elegant about this collection of works and a quietness that contrasts many of his more recognized pieces. Coherent, well-measured, but not without humour, ‘Boolean Values’ appears indicative of an artist whose output and input seem perfectly balanced and his Desktop-Desktop alludes to how imagination and environment can fold wonderfully in on each other.

‘Boolean Values’ opens Thursday 10th April 6.00-9.00pm at the Lee Gallery, 491 Chapel St, South Yarra. Until April 30.
