Matthew Ryan Smith’s first solo exhibition in London features a series of paintings based on pixel graphics. Smith scrutinizes the cultural return to pixilation as seen through media such as advertising, gaming, architecture, and film while high-resolution visual technology gains currency. Combining analog techniques with appropriated digital images, “Big Whoop” seeks out new ways to animate the otherwise static square of the pixel.
