string theory

Adrian Pritchard captures motion in his paintings using practiced techniques such as pouring on a single point on a flat canvas before spinning to disperse the colours. The works are left to dry flat for several months. Some ‘grow’ thick layers of paint which can produce stalactite-like forms; others crack revealing sub-layers below.
These accompany kinetic art installations – a live work in progress during exhibition's. Viscous liquids are chosen for their symmetrical and entropic qualities – watching paint dry has never been so interesting.

Artist Adrian Pritchard “Investigates the nature of Matter” via “Viscous Substances, entropy and symmetry”. I think that means he pours, spins and throws paint at stuff and it LOOKS COOL. I’m in!
