Catalogue Note
“(...) Marclay, who was born in California in 1955, loves old US comics and some of these sounds are scissored straight from the pages of cartoons, while others appear to relate very precisely to the medium of painting itself. Plop, Splat, Splish, Glop, the sounds of paint spattering across a canvas invoke Jack the Dripper and the other action painters working the pigment round the surface. Marclay is bridging the gap between Abstract Expressionism and Pop art” (Laura Cumming, 'Christian Marclay: Review', The Guardian, 1 February 2015, online).
