A MICRO EXHIBITION EXPERIMENT- MK Library

A MICRO EXHIBITION EXPERIMENT


The thought or feeling of the now, only ever becomes mature in its persistence
and the realization of the vastness in ones own insignificance.


My work primarily responds to the natural landscape such as woodland environments,
but also to technology and its implications upon painting. Placing these subjects
together as counterparts, a symbiotic relationship is sought, in order to explore
contemporary notions of landscape painting, whilst maintaining a dialogue with art
historical discourses of painting.
    
Making pictures with paint on a substrate harks back to centuries of painting and
its history, while making pictures with pixels on a computer screen is a relatively
new concept, with only a few decades of art historical substance.
Painting’s malleable, analogous processes conducted through the act of painting,
lends the artist a sense of intimacy and physical connection in a way that is
seemingly diluted by computer art’s electronic, digital processes conducted
through the operation of human machine interfaces commonly known as keyboard,
mouse or touch-screen. 


By interlacing ideas of landscape painting with ideas of digital imaging,
I am trying to create mechanisms which convey aesthetic tensions between
arboreal environments and the urban sprawl, where the asymmetry of natural
landscape forms contend with the linear forms of the man-made.
Whether my work is made with analogous or electronic processes, sensitive
or aggressive gestures, it is always exploring for understanding and
rationalization of painting in the light of digital reproduction.
