Thomas Downing (1928-1985).

Here's another one by the dude:

These are not prints. Top one is acrylic, bottom one oil.

Regarding his discover of dots: “They seemed right for me...the feeling in the actual painting of dots, of a gesture which was rhythmic and constantly oscillating seemed right. And the way a dot would isolate an instant of color and repeat it over a broad field gave to color the equivalent of an electric charge...the surface would pulse and come alive.” Even though he's dead, he seems to have had a recent show in Brussels at a gallery called "Sorry We're Closed."

We should make him an honorary member of hubski.
