Robert Lemay paints square by square, row by row. The painting may appear digitized but is meticulously hand painted. He's always used the grid to scale up his photos, but leaving traces of the process creates a tension between the image and the squares of tone and colour which are reassembled by the eye. This highlights the digital, as well as the playful reality that this series imparts - these days oil paintings often compete for wall space with a big screen TV.
