About the artwork
Duncan Passmore begins with questions of meaning. His paintings are visual labyrinths of apophenia, the human tendency to find patterns in randomness. Echoing René Daumal’s Mount Analogue, his works resemble fragments on a phone screen: traces we stitch together into a narrative to keep chaos at bay.
About the Artist
Duncan Passmore (b.1984) creates paintings, murals, and installations that explore the threshold between figuration and abstraction. His works engage apophenia, the tendency to find patterns in randomness, while grounding this openness in a Gestalt-like order of balance, light, form, and movement. By layering marks that are smeared, erased, and re-emerged, he invites viewers to discover meaning in shifting visual fragments. Passmore graduated with a BA Hons in Visual Communications from Buckinghamshire & Chilterns University in 2007.
