On Top of Color: Holton Rower's 'Pour' Series

By evad // February 21, 2011

Holton Rower pours paint over a custom "canvas" of boxes and panels, one color on top of the other. The result is somewhat psychedelic but this kinetic-process created work is anything but one-dimensional.

This is similar to something I used to do as a kid. I'd melt crayons with a candle and let the colors drip onto a standing toothpick. Too bad I never thought to go "full scale".
