Digital Art
Technology has provided a new tool for artists that goes far beyond the brush in its ability to create texture, to create color in new patterns, and to blend those textures, colors, and patterns in ways that were unimaginable prior to its development. That tool, of course, is the computer. And the canvas is made up of the numerous applications available to create art.
While some may disparage my art and the work of other digital artists as being "computer-generated," I think it is they who are the ones who cannot see the future for the past. The computer "generates" art on its own no more than a hundred monkeys in a room full of typewriters could write so much as a single line of a Shakespearian sonnet, much less Hamlet.
So, I invite those who look to past methods in reverence to turn 'round. . . and face the future. You may just like what you see, after all.
My work is mostly abstract. However, I call it Organic Expressionism for a reason: The mind is hard-wired to see patterns and, often, those patterns are animate, rather than inanimate, objects. You may see faces or figures in my work. Or not. I normally do not discuss how my paintings should be interpreted. I prefer to be surprised by the things viewers see, themselves, instead of imposing my own views and limiting how they make sense of my paintings.
For those who are curious — this not my portfolio. It is most of my work since 2014. Before I learned the Art of the Backup, I Iost hundreds of images to the vagaries of crashed hard drives. Not once but several times. I began backing up to multiple locations many years ago and have not had to endure the frustration and anger associated with failed electronics since then. I am currently working — as the mood strikes — on a portfolio of select images that I will publish later this year. Please contact me if you would like to have a copy.
