Rodney Graham
Inverted Drip painting #58, 2012
Liquid acrylic on linen
116.8 x 96.2 x 4.4 cm
46 x 37 7/8 x 1 3/4 in
Framed: 119.4 x 98.4 x 5.1 cm
Framed: 47 x 38 3/4 x 2 in
With the three panel light box The Gifted Amateur, Nov.10th, 1962 from 2007, Rodney Graham started the series of Inverted Drip paintings in which he examined the visual vocabulary of high Modernism.
The use of parallel sequential strips of pure undiluted colour speaks to his fascination with the American abstract expressionist painter Morris Louis. In ironic reference to the originals, Graham’s paintings are hung upside-down, against the gravitational direction of the flow of paint.
