WHAT’S ON: Chemical Computer, Andrew Cannon. May 17- July 12, 2014. Santa Monica Museum of Art.

From Santa Monica Museum of Art:

Constructed almost entirely on the floor and without paintbrushes, the paintings are the products of both improvisatory manipulation and technical craft. Marks made through pouring, fingerprinting, embossing, and baking, create dynamic topographies that embed surfaces with layers alternately opaque, translucent, and reflective…The paintings shift between complex insular systems and overtly patterned decoration—simultaneously invoking ideas of simulation, psychedelia, kitsch, handicraft, illusion, and solipsism that stand in and outside of the history of painting.
