** Mat Collishaw (b. 1966) - Pure Sensation, 2003 household paint on ceramic tiles, mounted on to ply wood, in 6 parts each 40 x 42 1/2 in., 101.6 x 108 cm Provenance: Stuart Shave/Modern Art, London. In all, Collishaw produced 7 large scale mosaic works for his exhibition at Modern Art in 2003, of which Pure Sensation is one. The selection process for the original photographic material to be scaled up does not necessarily follow an identifiable logic; he seems to have been more interested in locating images that may not have had sufficient representation with the annals of art history. The overriding focus of this body of works, therefore, is process-driven. The artist describes the series as follows: "During the inception of digital photography it occurred to me that the pixelated format of the electronic image bore a strong resemblance to the ancient technique of forming images with mosaic tiles. The digital image required a meticulous analysis of its subject and was more analogous to the use of code in translating information than the subjective interpretation of a painter. Each patch of skin or braid of hair had a particular colour or tonal value that was recordable and empirically precise. I developed a computer program that scanned an image and determined the exact shade of grey on a scale of 1 to 100. The tones were painted onto ceramic tiles that were arranged in a way that was prescribed by computer, with no room for human intervention."
