Cellular Disorder 3
Paul Sharits American
Not on view
Sharits’s hallucinatory yet diagrammatic works on graph paper convey a cinematic sensibility shaped by his early experiments with flicker films, in which rapidly alternating black, white, or colored frames appear to pulse on screen. While many of his abstract drawings were created in tandem with his films, as either preparatory sketches or postproduction renderings, Cellular Disorder 3 is a discrete object based on the process of spectral analysis, that is, diffracting, or spreading, light into systems of densely packed multicolored lines. Due to the interplay between warm and cool colors, these drawings produce unpredictable patterns that seem to vibrate frenetically.
