At the core of Cheyney Thompson’s practice is an analytical approach and unwavering commitment to the examination of painting—its production, distribution and presentation in contemporary conditions. He applies strict sets of principles to the creation of his work, using rules-based systems as generative tools to minimize the subjectivity of creative decisions. These investigations have included such varied structures as mathematical theories, complex algorithms, economic formulas or numerical color systems. The artist’s inaugural exhibition with Lisson is a dual-part presentation with Andrew Kreps Gallery in New York, demonstrating the breadth of the artist’s oeuvre.
