Cave Painting Series


Installation, 2015

The Cave Painting Series is a collection of wall drawings from 2012 to 2015.

This series is a continuation of Inside Outside Between Beyond, but at a larger scale. They asked a few questions. First, what is a contemporary thought on the comparison between horror vacui vs maximalism? Density, a measure of items per area, is a means to quantify things. However, what is the quality of quantity? Second, what is the status of referentiality, when the re-representation of precedents may generate new misreads of the past? Lastly, can one attempt to avoid splines, and generate only curves, using freehand?

Cave Painting VIII is in the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago
