Catalogue Essay
Jonas Lund's work is often inspired by data from his studies of art world trends and behavior. Under the Influence 2 is a painting that was developed by an algorithm that analyzed the most successful works from Phillips's Under the Influence auction series. The underlying patterns of the auction's top lots, including their medium, composition, color, and scale, determined a set of instructions that the artist used to produce this moody, abstract painting.
