These
pieces are an attempt to fuse the realism of photography, the textures
of collage and the expressiveness of painting. The basis of each painting
is a photograph or a digital photograph, from which enlarged prints
are made using a digital printer. These large images are cut apart
and half of the pieces are collaged onto canvas, with the missing parts
of the image recreated with acrylic paint, pencil or charcoal. Sometimes
printed textures such as maps
or blocks of type are added, and the entire image is painted to give
it
a consistent look. This process
creates images that have sharp photorealistic details, rich surface
and visual textures and the looseness and spontaneity of painting.
These paintings also represent a shift in subject matter, as I started working again with landscapes, as I had in my shaped canvases. |
