Bochner, Mel | Thank You, 2021 — available on Composition Gallery
Silkscreen with color shifting inks
Mel Bochner's Thank You (2021) is a silkscreen print that showcases his signature use of text as art. The print is covered with an array of gratitude expressions, such as THANK YOU!, THANKS A LOT!, and THANKS A MILLION!, rendered in bold, blocky lettering. The surface appears distressed, with some areas revealing textured underlayers, giving the piece a weathered and tactile feel. Bochner employs color-shifting inks, which change hues depending on the viewer's angle and light, creating a dynamic visual experience. The repetitive and emphatic text plays with the concept of sincerity and overuse, inviting viewers to reflect on the meaning and authenticity of expressions of gratitude in contemporary society.

What is Generative Art?

What is Generative Art?

Generative art refers to art that is wholly or partly created through an autonomous system. This system can be independent or non-human, capable of determining features that would otherwise be decided by the artist. The generative system can act as the creator or as a collaborator with the artist. Generative art often refers to works generated algorithmically by computers, where the system plays a significant role in the creation process.
