Chroma-Viscosity II: NOW OPEN

With Chroma-Viscosity II, Rob and Nick Carter rupture the boundaries of materiality, time, and technology.

Five framed works, serving as a continuation of the Painting Photographs series from 2004/5, show wet paint captured at a single moment in time through close-up photography, then enlarged 60 times to emphasise the medium’s sensuous, momentary quality.

These works explore the tension between painting and photography, engaging with traditions from Turner to Richter while employing photography to emphasis the immediacy of paint’s material presence.

Also on show is a new AI-generated film, based on the Painting Photographs, reimagining and transforming their captured fluidity and movement of paint into a dynamic, evolving digital format. It extends the dialogue between painting and photography into the realm of machine learning, offering a fresh perspective on how traditional art forms are interpreted and transformed in the digital age.
