GAMUT_93 - Nolensvolens II

Collection

Quantum Curated

Description

GAMUT-93 is a series of pixel-based video paintings informed by the Op art movement, primitive computer graphics, and contemporary graffiti. Gravitating between symbolism and abstraction, the artwork whispers in micro-narratives through the use of silent haiku charades, hypnotic visual ambience, and vivid graphic techno. NolenVolens (I,II and III) is a synthwave triptych echoing eponymous body of work by the late graffiti writer and legend Paul SAEIO (1987-2017). NolensVolens is latin for "to want/not to want". NolensVolens is a series of his pictural research embracing the competitive and impermanent aspect of graffiti, looking at competitors destroying or painting over his work and city employees cleaning it as a completion of his work. He then begins to include playful cleaning techniques and brutal overlaps into his painting practice, celebrating this alteration/destruction process as an evidence of the living city.
