Updating and deploying the tradition and composition device of Rückenfigur or ("back figure"), Untitled (ZOE) presents the audience with a ever evolving real-time screen painting that is foregrounded by a full scaled witnessing figure positioned outside temporal space yet forever in front of the images narrative diegesis. As an artist coded, custom algorithm continuously reshapes a painterly abstraction stroke by stroke, we experience infinite states of color and composition alongside the presence of a mysterious figure in foreground. "Zoe", we might assume here could easily be thought of as a contemporary refresh of Wyeth's "Christina's World" whether we consider this juxtaposition and collision of figure and abstraction as insight into a protagonist's interior landscape, or a deft commentary on our increasingly bewildering contemporary technological condition of this 21st century.
