STUDIO SYSTEMS
Working Documents from the Studio Practice
Studio Systems gathers the working documents that shape the studio practice of Dominic J. Lopez. These texts outline painting as a long-form inquiry unfolding across gesture, surface, and time. Together they form the conceptual architecture surrounding the paintings, the studio record, and the language that moves through the work. Each document reflects an aspect of the system through which the studio operates.
