Melancholia is part two of the Winter Wounded Bird Series

New Media Series: Louis Cameron, “Heineken”

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 15:33:41 -0700

Start: 01/09/2009 - 10:00am

End: 03/29/2009 - 5:00pm

Louis Cameron’s “Heineken,” 2007, is a captivating and colorful new media piece that straddles the realms of formal abstraction and consumer culture. Cameron’s works are titled after well-known brands of consumer items including candy bars, beverages and batteries, to name a few. The abstraction in “Heineken” is less diagrammatic and more emotive than his grid-like paintings. In this video, Cameron distorts and crops the image of a beer label. He transforms it into a painterly abstraction that suggests a river of color flowing beyond the frame.
