Last chance to see #CheyneyThompson and #WaelShawky's solo exhibitions in New York, both closing this Friday, 13 January. Thompson's inaugural Lisson exhibition 'Several Bellonas' features three new bodies of work that reveal the artist's thoughtful practice, featuring the connective strands of control, combination, and constraint. Alongside the six large-scale paintings in the Several Bellonas series, Toolpaths for Bellona sees Thompson reference Paul Cézanne's drawings of Rubens' Bellona. Redrawn line by line and translated into start and end points, continuous lines and angles, these were then fed into a CNC machine that would faithfully reproduce mechanical versions of varying scales and materials, successfully recreating the pressure of Cezanne’s pencil. While containing elements from each of the “parent” drawings, their offspring would resemble neither, using techniques from data science and machine learning to ultimately generate new compositions. The resulting forty-five new drawings were then subjected to the same process, leading to an exploded population of 990 unique derivations. They are presented here frame-mounted and color-coded to visually identify each drawing and its place within the combinatorial sequence from which it was produced.
