ART ON MY CANVAS FIRST:
Since 1980 I have used various digital platforms to view and adjust my paintings; colors and forms; before altering my canvas and then make the changes I investigated toI considered the piece complete. Simply said, I could experiment with changes online without touching the physical piece. At this early stage I used Adobe Photoshop.
As computer software rapidly expanded to accomodate the artists’ worlds so did my use of Technology. What changed within me was that instead of using the technology to fine tune a piece in progress, I began to create art using technology on my computer.
Technology growth is fast paced. Using various programs “Apps” I learned to create unique works of art on my Screen First. Markmaking did not change. The Artist must consider Line/Value/Form to create a work of Art.
The rise of Artifial Intellegence has become a platform to discuss and critique the Artist’s works.
the Artist is offered the ability to consult with the BOT to obtain ideas the artist was not able to visialize him/herself.
.I. applications designed specifically to produced images based on what the user defines in words. In my mind, these applications are beginning ideas. The user own the image through line, color, and composition. Computer generated images are manipulated by the artist using many platforms.
I transfer works to Procreate to finalize the design and the end product is dependent on how the Artist decides to present the image. My digital paintings reflect my Vision.
One of a kind” computer generated fine art can be reproduced on Paper, Canvas, Aluminum, Fabric, Acrylic, or NOT! How about just enjoying the images on a Monitor.
In 2010, my brother’s declining health warranted me to be by his side emotionally and physically. Being able to bring my studio on this journey, via i-Pad, allowed me to maintain my identity as well as tell my brother’s extordinary story “Loosing Identity”. I was not new to using the Computer to augment my vision because I have used a technology platform for over 20 years.
Originating Art via technology begins like all works of art, with one mark. Art, in any form, is about mark making. I find that my work often takes itself on its own unplanned journey, through experimentation. Creating from the unconscious is pure joy.
Is there a progression? Is there refinement? My goal is to break through boundaries and take risks. With Technology that requires a lot of self educating.
As a painter I found that the Canvas borders blocked my ability to submerge my thoughts beyond the frame. Technology allows me to expand from the static image and produce my Vision in movement by transferring the single image into Film and by using Animation.
My images can be seen on a 70 inch flat screen TV. How cool is that!
