An online exhibition of new work made under lockdown.
In this new series, Gaines evolves the complex conceptual system employed in his previous series to create smaller, gridded forms of palm trees in acrylic on and behind Plexiglas. With the form of the palm tree serving as a common denominator across these distinct series, Gaines makes successive modifications to scale, color, and background, evidencing his theory that while ‘the system has never changed, the outcome is always different.’ Each work in this third palm tree series is titled with a state where this type of tree naturally grows.
