Marc Cooper's Barcode series has been creating a
buzz on the Toronto and international art scene.
He launched the series after realizing that almost
everything we purchase is identified with a black and
white barcode.
Each painting is created over a series of days, weeks
and in some cases, months. The process is very long
as each bar is poured on and left to settle before the
next can be added. A mix of acrylic paint and resin is used to create the glasslike
texture, and gravity holds the drips in place. Cooper's Barcodes always have these
signature black stripes which create a dramatic pause in the painting. No two Bar
Codes are ever alike.
This is Brain Code.
