Kadar Brock
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kadar Brock (born May 20, 1980) [1] is an American artist living and working in Brooklyn, New York. He received his BFA from Cooper Union School of Art in New York City in 2002. His abstract paintings explore history, personal psychology, materials and surface.
Brock creates paintings through a repeated system of painting, sanding, priming and scraping on the surfaces of canvases.[2] A canvas is "painted on, dried, un-stretched, scraped with a razor blade, primed over, sanded, re-stretched, and painted on again."[3]
This labor-intensive processes maps the artwork's history of production. He repeats these processes until the layers of paint "stop functioning as pictures and evolve into a historical object."[4]
