"Kingerlee's ongoing SRIKS series of mixed media paintings pays homage to two of his favourite artists: the German Dadaist Kurt Schwitters (1887-1948) and the American Robert Rauschenberg (1925-2008), whose 'Combines' of the 1950s broke new grounds. As Kingerlee explains: 'SRIK is a word derived from three surnames - Schwitters, Rauschenberg, Kingerlee. A small family tree. A line of inheritance. ... housing a lifetime's random collection of memorabilia. Old notes, old letters, old drawings etc.' Because much of the glued material in the SRIKS is picked up on Kingerlee's travels or salvaged from parcels and envelopes, the finished works allude to journeys, real and imagined."
Jonathan Benington (2018)
