Description
Chris Wade's work navigates the pathways between the organic landscape and that of the digital image. Systems of Transference provides a visual survey of his work and also the transition of how his creative focus evolved from distancing himself from reproduction technologies to finding a way that they compliment his artistic process.Early works include fastidious drawings reminiscent of American Regionalist painters such as John Steuart Curry and Thomas Hart Benton – artists who revolted against the industrial revolution of the 1950s and focused on rural nostalgia. Like these artists, Wade's earlier works attempted to divorce themselves from digital reproduction and techniques. Wade's paintings parallel this focus on nature by illustrating the naturally occurring systems of transference and respiration from which we draw life energy and with which we interact.
