Produced on the occasion of Wade Guyton’s exhibitions at Le Consortium, Dijon, 25 June–25 September, 2016, and MAMCO, Geneva, 12 October, 2016–29 January, 2017.
Wade Guyton rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with a landmark series of abstract paintings composed of simple forms and letters printed on canvas. Running the canvas through a commercial inkjet printer, Guyton stretched the device beyond its capacity to the point of failure, embedding the limits of a digital future onto the surfaces of his paintings.
