Been working on a new series of paintings this year – figurative abstraction based on digital imaging. The paintings start with photos that I’ve manipulated with image processing software. Characteristics that are normally seen as negative aspects of digital technology (such as color shift, banding, compression artifacts, and pixelization) are enhanced to explore the unique visual language of digital imaging. Working from printouts, these images then become the subject of the paintings. Using palette knives that mimic the square shapes of pixels, I freely interpret the digital images in paint.
