He can present stages in the making of drawings or paintings, and display the principles that guide the selection of salient variables. <BR/><BR/>Lego is a clever gimmick, a performance device to draw in the crowds. The robots look amzing when they apply the paint.<BR/><BR/>If his practice is about making saleable 'machine' paintings, his dealer I imagine would be happy to help cover the costs of maintaining parts. He was offered the chance of exhibiting only robot produced works. They are good sellers.<BR/><BR/>Ingram doesn't want to focus only on the machines. He is a closet de Kooning.I think he'd happily admit it.John Hurrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411877334096071312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265813806993497215.post-5022694367364761392009-02-08T02:48:00.000-08:002009-02-08T02:48:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Elena Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987585006545916822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265813806993497215.post-79406769651207447442009-02-08T02:28:00.000-08:002009-02-08T02:28:00.000-08:00I meant Thursday.All painters though are abstracti...I meant Thursday.<BR/><BR/>All painters though are abstractionists, even the most 'realistic'. That is because something is always reduced or simplified in the image, especially 3D space. A painting can never be 'realistic'.John Hurrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411877334096071312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265813806993497215.post-1304668445686318992009-02-08T02:00:00.000-08:002009-02-08T02:00:00.000-08:00At Wednesday's talk he denied being a conceptual a...At Wednesday's talk he denied being a conceptual artist, and I think he may be right.<BR/><BR/>Is he an abstract painter, or is the work about any painter as a human subject, and what 'painters' do?<BR/><BR/>An 'abstract painter' would not be interested in process would they, but in how the resulting marks are interpreted as an aesthetic stimulus. Because the titles are not used to present information that clarifies the mechanisms underpinning the visual variables, he seems to be an abstractionist. He seems to like marks that are nicely composed and which avoid a narrative.John Hurrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07411877334096071312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265813806993497215.post-57263241942419158152009-02-08T00:19:00.000-08:002009-02-08T00:19:00.000-08:00simon ingram is a conceptual abstract artist.simon ingram is a conceptual abstract artist.Elena Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13987585006545916822noreply@blogger.com
