In a video interview, Christopher Joy and Zachary Keeting talk with Bill Jensen at his recent exhibition of new paintings at Cheim & Read, New York.  

Speaking about his new multi-panel paintings Jensen remarks that "it's not a shaped canvas, it's internally divided, so at that physical divide, I can be very abrupt with time and space and make things more complicated like I think they really are... What interests me about these panels is how I can abruptly change the space, the time - the sound of the painting - from panel to panel."
