Marcus 'Double O' Camphoo Kemarre has been painting since 2017, developing and becoming known for his signature minimalist style of action painting. The small handful of deceptively simple grid-and-band compositions that he paints are seemingly guided by a set of fluid formulae and mental mathematics. They are acts of compulsion or stereotypy, taking the same form as sketches that he makes on pieces of scrap paper and is rumoured to have drawn since childhood. The paintings resonate like portals reaching into space, the artist’s psyche or an altogether different dimension.
