RW13 (Fair Game) is an oil painting by Jeff Perrott on view at the MFA Boston until Fall 2012. I loved the multicolor and broad brushstrokes of the painting and was drawn to its energy and how it was created. Perrott uses a "chance system" to create his paintings. His Random Walk (RM) series starts with a single brushstroke. Then he uses a spinner like those found in board games to determine which way the next stroke goes. If the stroke runs off the edge, Perrott continues it from the other side. Then he changes to a new color and spins again. And so on. In his words, "It's a negotiation between the chance-driven movement of the line and the intuitive movement of the paint stroke." How fun! For more info on the artist visit:
