Wade Guyton
Wade Guyton, born 1972 in Indiana, USA, lives and works in New York. He rose to prominence in the mid-2000s with a landmark series of abstract paintings of simple forms and letters printed on canvas and is known for his innovative approach to painting and printmaking. Wade Guyton’s work explores the intersection of digital technology and traditional artistic techniques, often using inkjet printers to create large-scale abstract compositions on canvas. By deliberately misfeeding materials into the printer or allowing mechanical errors, Guyton embraces chance and disruption, challenging notions of authorship and control in the digital age. His signature motifs include bold black lines, gestural marks, and digitally manipulated imagery, reflecting both the aesthetics and imperfections of modern technology.
