Holton Rower's pour paintings at our neighbor The Hole are visually insane. Created from pouring little coffee cups of paint, the painting is in organic development until the last cup is poured and the paint, almost like a living thing, stops wherever it stops and dries.
The amount of paint (a lot - these works are massive and could take up an entire wall and, in some cases, floor), the hues (bright, dark, metallic, matte, glossy), the order, the manner and speed of pouring are all controlled, but the rest is up to destiny. Jagged tie-dye-like patterns, cracks, droops and bumps occur during the formation and, up close, all these things in a butt load of colors combine to blow your mind.
There is something very exciting watching the gooey, viscous, slow-moving process happen. So you should watch it at The Hole's blog, then see the end result at 312 Bowery.
There are a bijillion colors in this one. We counted.
