Jenkins Johnson Gallery is pleased to present the exciting and acclaimed British artistic husband and wife duo Rob and Nick Carter in their first solo exhibition in San Francisco. The show features digitally rendered paintings, and sculptures, as well as photographs, and drawings that recreate artistic masterpieces. The works examine and push boundaries between the real and the imagined, analogue and digital, and the traditional and the progressive. The Carters' first 'digital painting,' which appears still but in fact changes indiscernibly, was highly celebrated as a key work at the world's leading art fair TEFAF by Art Newspaper and New York Times, and has been exhibited at the Frick Collection, New York (the first time the museum has exhibited digital art), and Manchester Art Museum. It was collected by The Mauritshuis Museum, the Netherlands.
Since coming together 16 years ago, the Carters' work is defined as simple, focused and immaculately presented. At the foundation of their art making is the notion of perception and how we engage with and see a work of art. The Carters reproduce masterpieces from as early as the 16th century, harnessing some of the most cutting edge technology, to reinstate sustained and deep looking, something that has been lost through the technological revolution. They subvert the notion of soullessness, and image overload that is present in today's society. Their masterworks in digital motion retain the look of the original painting, yet move imperceptibly with only the occasional visible twitch of an arm, or a fly landing on fruit in this way, they challenge the average museum or gallery viewer's six-second attention span, and reward them for engagement. "Computer-generated imagery is our form of reality," says Nick. "This is what we see everyday." The artworks in the exhibition are a hybrid between two modes of art making-the old and new. Color, form, and light are central to their images that reengage with art of the past.
