Cheyney Thompson Exhibition

In the exhibition, Thompson brings together thirteen paintings which share the common motif of an enlarged section of the linen support. The scanned fabric sample is divided into three equal sets of numeric data which correspond to the value axis of the digital image, resulting in a template which consolidates the value information into zones of highlight, mid-tone, and dark. The lights and darks of the image provide the coordinates for the distribution of complementary colour pairs based on Albert Munsell's colour model. These complementary colour pairs are arbitrarily assigned to the individual paintings as a means of providing a minimum of identity within the ensemble.
