(Review of Divine Decline)
October 2010

A tiny version of Divine Decline was produced by hand by the Author in a very small edition. It was shown at a Book Launch in the White Heat Exhibition at Kaleid Gallery, 23-25 Redchurch St, London E2 7DJ

A review written by Kasia Wlaszczyk and published in The Blue Note Book: Journal for Artists' Books Volume 5: no. 1, October 2010. The exhibition was curated at KALEID in Shoreditch between 2nd-27th June 2010.

"History and heritage also play integral roles in Andrew Pegram’s work Divine Decline, a collection of small scale photographs of buildings that despite their architectural and historical value are left abandoned and un-restored. Through a neo-romantic portrayal of the passage of time, Pegram, a contemporary photographer, creates, much in the vein of Foucault, a heterotopia. In his work the buildings are like cemeteries, physically disseminated throughout London and the everyday while simultaneously occupying a more ambiguous space of absence. If the city in its skyscraping glory was the embodiment of the modern, then Pegram’s phantom buildings seem to define our post-modern age of ruptures and dissemination."

Very Early Work

2011-01-19T11:29:00.001Z

Up to the late 1960's I was taught by the famous Welsh Artist Kyffin Williams. I have just been directed to a blog about Kyffin where to my amazement I have found a painting made by me all those years ago. Although the work is pretty scruffy, I am deeply flattered that such a famous artist collected and kept just a little of my work.

Comments on Works made in 2005/6

2008-03-16T11:17:00.000Z

The work shown below falls into the categories of:
A. Drawings
B. Photographic and
C. Printmaking

A. My drawings are largely made in indian ink on A1 sized sheets of mountboard. This gives a very smooth flat finish. Some works are coloured using watercolour.

B. My photographic work shown here falls into two categories - 1. Sepia Prints of human gesture. These are digital prints made as emulations of Holga images...and 2. A Depopulation series. Digital photographs are manipulated to remove the people. These are shown in pairs before/after - populated/depopulated.

C. Although I have worked with woodcut, monoprint, linocut and colograph, the work here is exclusively screenprinted. The works are made on A3 sized heavy cartridge paper.

Grisailles: 2007/8

2007-03-20T10:02:00.000Z

Grisailles :

1. Purchase Panels - I used chopping boards.

2. Seal board with thinned PVA Glue.

3. Beat Gesso lightly.

4. Apply Gesso in thin layers – horizontally then vertically.

5. Build up until happy with surface.

6. Sand with flour paper.

7. Seal with thin layer of water based matt varnish.

8. Denib surface.

9. Apply thin translucent coats of white oil paint. (Paint and turps.)

10. Draw image in Indian ink.

11. Wait until dry then over-paint small details with oil paint – I used Payne’s Grey.

12. Leave to dry.

The images continue my theme of the built environment:- interiors, exteriors, townscape etc.
