‘stasis 14’, 2006 (paint, acrylic plastic)

canadian artist chris dorosz creates intricate sculptures using a grid of acrylic rods which he covers in tiny
paint drops to create 3-d images. now based in san francisco, dorosz started the paint drop body of work
when thinking about the primacy of the paint drop. he explains, ‘the paint drop, a form that takes shape not
from a brush or any human-made implement or gesture, but purely from its own viscosity and the air it falls
through’. using the paint drop as a building block, dorosz explores ‘changing ideas of human physicality
in an age pushing towards virtual reality’ through his art. most of the pieces are rather small sculptures
exhibited on the wall, but the artist has also created larger installation works that are full size objects,
like pieces of furniture.
