ROBERT OTTO EPSTEIN

THIS IS HEAVY

January 3 - February 3

High Noon is proud to present Robert Otto Epstein’s solo debut, This is Heavy. Epstein’s work reads as the visual equivalent of an acid trip uploaded to an old school desktop computer via a floppy disk. The methodical and repetitive patterns are obsessively crafted, unnecessarily analog, and entirely lo-tech--- each work begins in Photoshop, of which he admits to knowing only five techniques. The works on paper, panel, and now concrete sculpture are gridded out by hand and then filled in using methods of both chance and choice. This is Heavy is a tongue-in-cheek phrase chosen not only to express the literal weight of Epstein’s concrete sculptures, but also poking fun at the esoteric institutions of high art.
