Piece description from the artist
2010. The process uses acrylic paint to transfer pigment from a paper surface to another receptive surface. The original image is covered with the paint, placed face down onto the new surface, and allowed to dry. Once dry, the paper is scrubbed off with water and a bristle brush. The result is the original image completely transferred to the new surface.
Hollis Brown Thornton (USA, 1976) was born and raised in Aiken, South Carolina. In spring of 1999, Thornton received his B.F.A. from the University of South Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina. Since August 2005, Thornton has been working out of his warehouse studio in Aiken, SC, as a full time artist. Thornton paints and draws the way memory stores and replicates things in an inaccurate, personal way. In his work, erasure, fragmentation and simplification represent the imperfect, limited nature of memory and the constant notion of flux in the physical and digital world. Thornton wants to replicate the transitional state between the past and the unknown and focus on the idea of being in a perpetual state of potential.
