Cole’s own words from years previously - “provocatively unexciting” - come to mind: he is experimenting, perhaps, with the limits of his followers’ patience. Sometimes the faint cracks of a painting that has aged over the years are visible sometimes the grain of the canvas itself is visible often the subtle tones of a red that burns and deepens, or a blue whose wash is made up of teal, navy and cerulean, can be seen when you look at the image for more than the brief moment usually allocated to Instagram looking. When you click onto an image - or when it appears on your own feed - it is revealed to be a close-up image of a section of painting, often with a near-uniform colour (though there are multi-coloured squares, too, more as time goes on, but always in the abstract). At first glance, it looks like a grid of almost single-colour squares. All this thinking and writing is a precursor to his current approach to his own Instagram feed.
