Description

Marx & Zavattero are excited to present a new series of egg tempera paintings, watercolors, and wall installation by highly regarded Los Angeles artist Paul Paiement. Paiement’s evocative transformations of gadgets such as cell phones, iPods, video game accessories, and cars into a fantastical series of new insect species take on multiple meanings resulting in a body of work that is as unique and thought-provoking as it is beautifully rendered. The artist’s "Hybrid H" series features a new relief element of which he terms “Ben Day dot/half tone patterns” consisting of small circular painted wood dots nestled into the painting’s surface. These dots suggest a gradual transformation of his subjects by way of a three-dimensional element, influenced by the mosaic of pixels that are used to create digital images – and they provide optical amusement as well.
