As a painter who seeks, in his own words, 'to make sense of the things we can't see', Tim Kent is well suited to a world in which many images are invisible to the unassisted human eye. Nonhuman vision, exemplified by or codes, is the same world in which drone technology and 'intelligent' weapons use operational images to fulfil military objectives. By injecting his new series with the visual grammar of military targeting programs, Kent acknowledges that Western paintings have also been vehicles for regimes of oversight.
