At first glance, you might think you’re looking at a woven textile or a pixelated digital image: in fact, Summer Wheat, an artist based in Brooklyn, uses an idiosyncratic technique to create the textured look of her tapestry-like paintings. She pushes her paint through an aluminium mesh, a laborious method that gives her work its distinct aesthetic. This image, Biting Nails, is one of a new body of her push-paint works showing at Shulamit Nazarian, Los Angeles, from 8 September.
