Seattle, Washington.- The Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington is pleased to show “Videowatercolors: Carel Balth Among His Contemporaries”, on view from October 15th through January 22nd 2012. Dutch artist Carel Balth is one of a steadily growing group of artists exploring the intersections between photography, painting, and new media. In his most recent series Videowatercolors (started in 2001 and still ongoing), Balth combines on watercolor paper or canvas two or more nearly identical moments from a digital video recording, thereby drawing analogies between the constant flow of pixels and the fluidity of watercolor. Ostensibly simple, the subtle differences between the images trace complex shifts in time, movement, rhythm, orientation, light, and color, blending into a multifaceted ensemble and reflecting on essential conditions of perception, imaging, and imagination.
