\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To celebrate Leonard Bullock&#8217;s forthcoming show at the The Front Gallery,\u00a0\u00a0London in November I have collected together various images and interview pieces about the artist in order to publicise his name a bit more over here in the U.K.<\/p>\n<p>Originally from North Carolina and New York City, Bullock has lived in Europe for the last 15 years, frequently exhibiting in Switzerland and Germany. He was often involved in significant events of the artworld in important locations, including starting an artist run gallery in the 80s in NYC, assisting Leon Golub and more, thus making him the source of a wealth of interesting anecdotes and unique criticisms.<\/p>\n<p>Bullock is a painters\u2019 painter especially in his mark-making; his direct facture has influenced many better-known contemporaries. He often paints on surprising surfaces such as fiberglass or silk and includes text and images with pure abstraction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I first was in contact with Leonard when blogging and he very kindly replied to a piece I had written. this can be read here :<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/blog\/?p=1123\">https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/blog\/?p=1123<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Listen to a Mark Staff Brandl interview here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/badatsports.com\/2009\/episode-198-leonard-bullock\/\">http:\/\/badatsports.com\/2009\/episode-198-leonard-bullock\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hee is a pdf for his <a href=\"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/2008-Summer-Show-press-release.pdf\">2008 Summer Show press release<\/a><\/p>\n<p>in New York David Zwimmer Gallery<\/p>\n<p>Here a C.V. and images fromThe Tony Weuthrich gallery Basel<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tony-wuethrich.com\/set.php?p=\/content\/kuenstler\/bullock.php\">http:\/\/www.tony-wuethrich.com\/set.php?p=\/content\/kuenstler\/bullock.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>CORA COHEN interview LB for BOMB magazine<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/bombsite.com\/issues\/37\/articles\/1469\">http:\/\/bombsite.com\/issues\/37\/articles\/1469<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cora Cohen What is the basis of the dimensional pieces you do?<\/p>\n<p>Leonard Bullock They are anecdotal in relation in to dimension. I see them as combination collision, aggregation of near polarities. They derive meaning from relation. The works, made with found materials, carry age and decomposition in unlike ways, stressing vernacular association. A table once used to roll tobacco leaves is not antipodal to the crystals used in the painting rising from its surface. The two things come from parallel domains. One is not assimilable into another. Each part retains something of the origin of its use, or of both. I made an attempt to mix the pure system of the traditional painting studio with the minerals (\u201cfragments of a larger fragmentation\u201d R.S.) and the tobacco rolling table with its parochial history use and decay.<\/p>\n<p>CC So there\u2019s a relationship in your thinking to that of Robert Smithson\u2019s?<\/p>\n<p>LB In one of his essays Smithson speaks of the slate in <cite>Bangor Non-Site<\/cite> as being \u201cfragments of a larger fragmentation.\u201d This stresses that the material of the works is from somewhere else in the world. Because the site pieces rely so much on transitive metaphors of displacement they continue to be activated by a sense of productive unresolve as works of art. <cite>Planet on the Table<\/cite> is intended in part to operate along these lines. These works satisfy a specific ambiguity grown out of the apposition of new matter the way it occurs in nature: one thing put next to another in succession, aggregated, part of flowing movement but retaining its nominal character.<\/p>\n<p>CC How do you mean nominal?<\/p>\n<p>LB I have to say that I\u2019ve used the word nominal here as in its relation to the philosophy of nominalism. The nominalists held that there are no universal essences in reality\u2014to our intellects everything real must be some particular individual thing. So all general collective words are mere words.<\/p>\n<p>The poet William Carlos Williams\u2019 notion that \u201cthere are no ideas but in things\u201d bears a relation to this sort of thinking. I wonder if your family doctor can impart that kind of influence. (Williams was Smithson\u2019s childhood doctor.)<\/p>\n<p>CC You often mention the notion of negative capability. Has it a direct bearing on the nature of your work?<\/p>\n<p>LB The English poet Keats first transposed his idea of \u201cnegative capability\u201d in a letter to a colleague. He describes the moment of making (creating) at its most frustrating uncertainty, of seemingly insurmountable difficulty. If at that moment the artist\/poet could continue without resorting to reasoned exit, resist difficulties and the urge to rationalize the effort, that \u201cnegative capability\u201d would awaken the imagination.<\/p>\n<p>CC In what way has your having been itinerant enhanced your work (or detracted from it)?<\/p>\n<p>LB I\u2019d rather it be peripatetic but both have been true. Yeah, I wanted more freedom and New York didn\u2019t provide it. The offer I got from Rudolf (Zwirner) to live and work in Cologne was exhilarating; it fueled my work, no doubt. The time of my life at which it came (I was 27) was perfect. I needed the challenge more than I knew.<\/p>\n<p>So I allowed myself to wander for a few years. That can do damage and it did, but it released so much untapped power. I hadn\u2019t undertaken all this to achieve that end; it wasn\u2019t a project; I\u2019d done it out of desire\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; To celebrate Leonard Bullock&#8217;s forthcoming show at the The Front Gallery,\u00a0\u00a0London in November I have collected together various images and interview pieces about the artist in order to publicise his name a bit more over here in the U.K. Originally from North Carolina and New York City, Bullock has lived in Europe for the &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/?p=44\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Leonard Bullock: Ideas about painting&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[11,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-new-york-art","category-painting"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p4CTH4-I","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":632,"url":"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/?p=632","url_meta":{"origin":44,"position":0},"title":"Open Studios Notts 2017 &#8211; Report","author":"shaun belcher","date":"May 15, 2017","format":"gallery","excerpt":"\u00a0 Here photos of my studio space and small show of paintings as Third Space Studios opened up for Open Studios Notts. \u00a0","rel":"","context":"In &quot;abstract painting&quot;","block_context":{"text":"abstract painting","link":"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/?cat=24"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170509_163456_845.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200,"srcset":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170509_163456_845.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200 1x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170509_163456_845.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=525%2C300 1.5x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170509_163456_845.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=700%2C400 2x, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_20170509_163456_845.jpg?fit=1200%2C1200&ssl=1&resize=1050%2C600 3x"},"classes":[]},{"id":567,"url":"https:\/\/shaunbelcher.com\/canvas\/?p=567","url_meta":{"origin":44,"position":1},"title":"New Paintings March 2016 and David Jones","author":"shaun belcher","date":"June 8, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"I painted these three canvases after Spectrum paints very kindly sent me some new tubes of oil paint.
