ABOUT THE ARTIST

“My painting style started as a response to degraded images of geometric abstract paintings found on the Internet, printed with an inexpensive printer with an insufficient ink supply.The images it produced brought me to thinking about the inevitable erosion of image through technological reproduction, and its influence on our understanding of the tradition of painting throughout art history.

My current paintings engage with the idea of the repetition of a calculated action, and the inconsistencies that result as the act is performed again and again. Each work starts as a basic grid structure, and through the monotonous process of addition and subtraction using repeated colours and techniques, the resulting pattern is contrasted by the performative action of its making and the unpredictable nature of oil paint. This has brought me to the realization that the more something is repeated, the more it changes. That ultimately, there is really no such thing as repetition, only variation.”

ABOUT THE PRINT

This print is made in-house using archival pigment inks on heavyweight 100% cotton fibre archival paper. Each print is custom-trimmed and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Edition dimensions reflect actual paper sizes, not the printed image itself. While we try to maximize image size on all prints, a minimum border of .5 inches is left to allow for easy framing.
