IMG_1919 by Wade Guyton is a C-print that exemplifies the artist's interest in digital and analog processes, captured with a focus on simplicity and vibrant color. The photograph shows a red background with a camera partially in view, hovering over a series of printed color bars in black, blue, orange, and green. This arrangement highlights the mechanics of image creation, both conceptually and technically, blending the realms of photography and print. Produced in 2013 in a limited edition of 100 with 20 artist proofs, this work embodies Guyton’s exploration of reproducibility and the nuances of color in a digital age.
Wade Guyton (United States, 1972) is an American post-conceptual artist renowned for his digital paintings created using inkjet printers on canvas. His work explores the intersection of technology and art, often featuring abstract forms and intentional glitches that challenge traditional notions of painting. Guyton's innovative approach has significantly influenced contemporary art practices.
C-PrintA C-type print, also known as a chromogenic print, is a photographic print made from a color negative or slide. The print is created on chromogenic paper, which contains three emulsion layers, each sensitized to a different primary color. After exposure, the paper is processed in a series of chemical baths, where each layer reacts to the chemicals to produce the final image. C-type prints are known for their rich color depth and are widely used in fine art and commercial photography.

Wade Guyton was born in Indiana in 1972. After graduating high school he earned a B.A. from the University of Tennessee before going on to Hunter College in New York to earn his M.F.A. degree. His works of art combine the traditional use of linen canvas with the modern elements of computer and ink jet printer. Because of inherent flaws such as drips, streaks, and blurs, that can occur when using ink on linen, Wade Guyton never really knows what his artwork will look like, even if he had a strong conceptual drawing. Wade Guyton's signature works feature large black x's on a white linen background. Because he likes to work in a series, there are several variations of this theme in Guyton's portfolio. Recently a large scale version of one of his earlier works was recreated using a wide format printer and joining printed pieces together to form the whole.
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
