Conceptual painter Cheyney Thompson’s (born 1975) practice centers on the mechanical reproduction of art, whether repainting a Rubens fresco or creating a digital data set of drawings inspired by Cézanne’s sketches of the same Rubens work.

Cheyney Thompson has made the technology, production and distribution of painting the subject of his work. His Chronochromes (2009–2011) are composed using the color system devised by Albert H. Munsell in the early 1900s. Thompson grafts this system onto a calendar: each day is assigned a complementary hue pair, with every hour changing the value, and every month changing the saturation, of each brushstroke.
