| Sun Tests "Fading  and impermanence have alwaysbeen a part of Chartier’s experimentation, although they were long understood as negative outcomes to be avoided as the artist attempted to identify the most reliably lightfast of paints and stains. However, what began as an avoidance of fugitivity developed into an active interest in instability, ephemerality, and impermanence. In this trajectory, the recent series Sun Tests is distinctive in its active embrace of disappearance."
