Wade Guyton at Petzel Gallery

For his first solo gallery show in New York since his retrospective at the Whitney Museum in fall ’12, New York based artist Wade Guyton returns to his signature style with digitally created, minimalist ‘paintings’ printed in an epic battle with his Epson printer. (At Chelsea’s Petzel Gallery through Feb 22nd).

Ever struggle to print something from the computer?  Wade Guyton heroizes the process, creating his artwork by devising images on his computer, then battling to run his linen supports through large printers.  The untitled piece on the left started as an x typed on his screen; the multi-panel piece on the right as the word ‘us.’ (At the Whitney Museum through 1/13.)
