Wade Guyton - Zeichnungen für ein großes Bild - König 2010

This catalogue was published on the occasion of the Wade Guyton's exhibition Zeichnungen für ein großes Bild, at Museum Ludwig Köln (April 23 - August 22, 2010).

Wade Guyton creates deliberately glitchy abstract paintings with the help of scanners, inkjet printers, and other consumer technology; his work explores our evolving relationship with images and machines. The artist combines digital and analog processes to create bold large- and small-scale works, in color and black and white. Wade Guyton often runs folded sheets of pre-primed linen through a printer to create his paintings, relishing the resulting streaks, creases, and other inconsistencies. He has reproduced screengrabs of the New York Times website, iPhone advertisements, and photos taken on his own iPhone, occasionally overprinting his original source material with distinctive Xs, Us, stripes, flames, and other recurring motifs.
