Early 1970s — silence as empathy; order clarified

Alan Uglow

(

1941–2011

)

al-un ug-lo

Uglow built a world of quiet precision.

His white-bordered canvases hold air between gesture and control.

‍

In his world, stillness is emotional geometry.

Structural Focus

Body as Measure

Human scale, movement, or wear calibrates the work. Proportion is felt physically rather than visually alone.

In Alan Uglow’s work, this approach appears where geometry is calibrated to bodily proportion, making measurement felt rather than abstract.

Constructed Surfaces

Surfaces are built through layering, joining, and controlled fabrication.

Systems of Clarity

Order and coherence arise through disciplined systems and constraints.

Structure holds the work through rules, joins, and controlled relationships between parts.

Proportion organizes coherence through measured intervals, scale, and relation.

Material behavior governs form through weight, resistance, and constraint.

Form operates as a site for material, perceptual, and conceptual inquiry.

Reduction clarifies form through repetition, scale, and restraint.

Crisp boundaries and flat color emphasize precision and control.

Observartory

Structual Relations

The following practices are connected through shared structural decisions in form, material, and spatial logic.

Grey as structure

Border as light

In Dialogue

Paint as presence

Repetition as calm
