Wade Guyton im Josef Albers Museum Quadrat Bottrop

For the exhibition at the Josef Albers Museum the artist created four paintings, which are integrated into the presentation of works by Josef Albers starting a dialogue with them. Guyton‘s work is connected with the tradition of Modernism, which culminated in the paintings of the , New York School‘ and in Minimal Art. With sparse vocabulary he is examining the different possibilities of a visual language. At the same time Wade Guyton is testing the idea of artistic authorship: the creative process is disconnected from the artist‘s own hand, his paintings are programmed on a computer and then printed on classical canvas to give them a physical form.
