Holton Rower by Mary Glatt

Holton Rower was born in 1962 in New York City, where he grew up. He currently lives in Brooklyn Heights, and works in a studio located in Lower Manhattan. He is most well-known for his "pour paintings." These are exactly what they sound like. The mind-blowing three-dimensional images are created by pouring layers of paint at carefully timed intervals onto differently sized wood blocks and allowing gravity to shape the paint.

  1. This is very interesting. I would go as far to say this doesn't look like something that is very easy to do at all. It's very mind-blowing; almost psychadelic.

  2. A saw a video of this a while ago with the people pouring the paint over it and i thought it was awesome. I wanted to try to do this at some point because I really thought it was crazy how it turned out by something as simple as pouring paint over something
