Viewing Rob and Nick Carter: Chroma Viscosity II

Rob and Nick Carter’s Chroma-Viscosity II, defies the boundaries of materiality, time, and technology in five framed works – a continuation of the duo’s Painting Photographs series – where stridently coloured swirls of wet paint are captured at a single moment with close-up photography, then enlarged 60 times to emphasise the medium’s sensuous, momentary quality.

Walking the line between painting and photography, two mediums that are intertwined in the contemporary era, Rob and Nick Carter use the photographic technology to draw out the materiality of paint, creating compelling abstraction compositions that query what a painting and how traditional techniques might be transformed for the digital age – a recurrent interest of Rob and Nick Carter’s enquiring and experimental practice.

Also on show is the duo’s new AI-generated film, (also based on the Painting Photographs) reimagining and transforming their captured fluidity and movement of paint into a dynamic, evolving digital format.
