Summary:
"This book focuses on the works that comprise McArthur Binion's DNA series, produced between 2013 and 2020 and united by their underlying imagery and the language of the grid. Binion has indicated that the series, more than 250 paintings and prints, is now, as of summer 2020, complete. While narratives surrounding aspects of the artist's practice and life have become well-trod in the existing bibliography regarding his work, this volume seeks to dig more deeply, more precisely, into a single body of production as a means to both hone and open the ways we might understand and see Binion's work. Taken as a whole, this publication reveals the visual complexity of the series and the boarder field of meaning it suggests." -- From page 7.
