Synopsis

"Roxy Paine's conceptual works are provocative, challenging our perceptions and biases through a combination of complex layering, serious humor, romanticism, and a touch of irony. Second Nature examines Paine's monumental art-making machines and his naturalistic, botanical environments, exploring how they illustrate a reversal between the artist, whose repetitive processes are machinelike, and machines, which are programmed to emulate human art making."

About this title

About the Author:

Roxy Paine is best known for his meticulous representations of flora and fungi, and his SCUMAK and PMU machines, which automatically create original works of paintings and sculpture. Solo exhibitions of Paine's work have most recently been mounted at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston, SITE Santa Fe, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami.
