Nathan Hylden seems like a disciplinary who barely leaves his workplace. While Minamikawa reenacts and expresses images that he encounters in his daily life in the city, Hylden adopted an archetypal system and phenomenon of modern times into his art: mass production and division of labor. Hylden piles up canvases and spray paint on them, then flip them over, and spray paint on the opposite side as well. As a result, the single canvas shows the traces of another. He delegates certain process of his practice to the other. However, he does not forget to add washed off brushstrokes and chooses colors according to his aesthetics, which add authorship to his works.
