ZERO DIMENSIONS
Galerie Push, Montreal
October 15 to November 15, 2009
Hutchinson’s paintings are stages upon which to look at the conventions of theatre and painting, examining their shared stake in chance and anomaly. Zero Dimensions presents theatre and its architecture mediated through the processes of digital 3D rendering and oil painting in an effort to examine the difference produced through modes of repetition. The works in this exhibition seek to foreground difference both formally and technically through narrative structuring, staging and compositional repetition. The work emerges between repetitions, in the productive failure to replicate a mark, an image, an object, or an instant.
The paintings in this exhibition are constructed with precisely crafted unidirectional brush marks in black oil paint. The resulting surface reflects light unevenly, revealing the depicted image in an otherwise undifferentiated monochrome ground. The viewer’s movement enables light to shift across the surface, simultaneously revealing and concealing parts of a continuously shifting surface and representation.
