About Ken Solomon

Ken Solomon’s work promotes pauses. His new paintings are slow searches, painstakingly reconstructed snap shots arrestING the constant flow of information on the web. He freezes screens to capture an enemy that drifts away, conspires and multiplies at the speed of light. Pixels to paint, fast to slow, transforming functional into formal, data and information into a visual world that allows the viewer to crawl into the artists psyche.
