Description: Janis Nedela's work is preoccupied by seductions of surface, colour, grids and patterns. Obsessively linked to the nature of text and representation, his paintings succeed both optically and contemplatively. In his current work, the use of multi-coloured dots invites the viewer to look though the surface beauty of the overall image and question the making of marks and the system used for their placement, while at the same time creating different illusions of movement. Critically praised, his paintings have
