DESCRIPTION:A pivotal figure in the field of conceptual art\, Charles Gaines’ body of work engages formulas and systems that interrogate relationships between the objective and the subjective realms. Using a generative approach to create a series of works in a variety of mediums\, he has built a bridge between the early conceptual artists of the 1960s and 1970s and subsequent generations of artists pushing the limits of conceptualism today. Born in 1944 in Charleston\, South Carolina\, Gaines began his career as a painter\, earning his M.F.A. from the School of Art and Design at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 1967. In the 1970s\, Gaines’s art shifted dramatically in response to what he would later call ‘the awakening.’ Gaines’s epiphany materialized in a series called Regression (1973 – 1974)\, in which he explored the use of mathematical and numeric systems to create soft\, numbered marks in ink on a grid\, with each drawing built upon the calculations of the last. This methodical approach would carry the artist into the subsequent decades of his artistic journey.
