Julian Cornish
2025
Chinese ink on paper
435 × 685mm
Emergence: Studies in Light and Darkness draws together nine works by artist Julian Cornish painted over 2024 and 2025. Working in the demanding tradition of Japanese Sumi ink painting, Julian is captivated by the darkness, richness and blur of ink on paper. Yet where tradition dwells in shadow, his work seeks something else: light emerging from dark passages of tone. Often mysterious, these paintings leave room for thought and emotion, reflecting on the times in which we live and the ever-present light that still finds its way into our lives.
