\u201cNothing inherently has meaning,\u201d he once shared. \u201cMeaning is projected and reflected which gives the illusion that things \u2018have\u2019 meaning. In that sense, meaning is like color.\u201d\n
\u201cHis work is characterized by its uniform smoothness and mechanical application of color,\u201d according to Artnet.\u00a0 McGinness\u2019 work can be found in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and many more.\n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bl4Dg1Jn448\/?taken-by=mcginnessworks\n \n https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/Bl2VzY8HhyL\/?taken-by=mcginnessworks\n \n
