Christian Marclay, Actions: Plish Plip! Plap!!! Plop…(No.2), 2013; screenprint with hand painted acrylic, 37 7⁄8 × 49 in.
This new group of works consists of silk-screen on painted backgrounds, featuring onomatopoeias that evoke the sound of painting actions (SPLORCH! SLLURP! WHOOMPH!). Torn from comic book pages, collaged, blown up and printed on canvas and paper, the onomatopoeias extend Marclayʼs investigation into the relationship between sound and image, sampling elements from art and popular culture.
