What I'm looking for here isn't necessarily the content of these works, but how they were crafted. Annick Gendron used industrial wheels to spin paint on Plexiglas.

"Spin Painting" Oil on Plexiglas, Annick Gendron 1969 |
Damien dropped paint from above in a constant drip onto rotating shaped canvases below. Although these examples may look similar, he produced many different paintings on a manufacturing scale. His technique gave a very different effect from one to another, he probably changed the rotation of the canvas, the speed that the paint was released, the time it was released and i guess the type of paint itself. Although most produced were using "Housegloss".
