Chris Duncan

Light is a major theme of Chris’ work as is inventive use of materials. Chris’ tape layers obscure their under painting and fragment and skew the light that is reflected and refracted.

These 2 pieces are made with layer upon layer of strapping tape, that Chris has removed the adhesive from and re-glued with an archival binder. So as the layers build up an optically vibrant pattern emerges. While essentially white on white the depth and layers of lines become incredibly deep. It is then sprayed with a matte film so it all appears almost blurry while it is right there in front of you.

Impossible to grasp in a photograph. A very inventive and intense process.

Chris Duncan is an Oakland-based artist who employs repetition and accumulation as a basis for experiments in visual and sound based media. Often in flux between maximal and minimal, Duncan’s work is a constant balancing act of positive or negative, loud or quite, solitary or participatory and tends to lead towards questions regarding perception, experience and transcendence.
