The Hen House

This catalogue showcases a body of work exhibited in 2013, in London by British artist Jonathan Ellery. The notion of sequence and of a gentle, unfolding narrative is at the core of Ellery’s art and the order of the works in the exhibition and catalogue re-enforce this idea. The use of full-bleed gold, silver and white foiled pages is informed by the materials used by the artist and along with the frictional narrative, force the viewer to build an imaginative construction of meaning.
