PNB (2020) is a unique series of oil paintings by Steven Cox. PNB, an acronym for “Post No Bills,” refers to the sign used to stop the guerrilla marketing tactic of unauthorized flyposting. The forbidden act inspired Steven Cox in 2015, when he found himself drawn to vandalized walls covered in the remnants of advertising posters, adhesive residue, paint and detritus. The complex urban surfaces, once plastered with advertising, now revealed abstract qualities that demanded formal investigation in his studio. PNB I – X defines a 5 year investigation of materiality and process. Steven Cox’s PNB paintings are created through the gradual application and layering of oil paint, acrylic paint and sawdust. Over a period of time, the surfaces gradually lose their flatness and become highly textured through the application of transfer techniques. The result is rich in texture and contains an essence reminiscent of defaced walls and rough surfaces. The irregular and uneven textures look like poetic reflections of a familiar environment and are accentuated by the graphic, minimalist palette of black and white. The final layer of black oil paint looks like a kind of frottage. The paint is applied to the surface in a single layer, accentuating the complex surface and underlying structures.
