Chris Hamnett

Courtyard Commission

At the end of 2014 Hobart artist Chris Hamnett commenced work on UNTITLED 2014 #13. The hypnotic and enthralling work energized the CAT Courtyard throughout 2015 with visitors to the gallery met by a series of painted white numbers, one through to ten on a black ground that wrapped around the walls of the space. Hamnett obsessively repeated the sequence of numbers over and over again, sometimes making ‘mistakes’ along the way that served to disrupt the tempo and implicate the viewer in the artist’s process.
