themes of color, emotions, brush textures and shapes. The body of work is reflective of his “Study of Colours in Abstract 20th Century Art Work”.
In college, he did a sketchbook/research project on the colors and emotions in 20th century art. Periods of art that were of focus: Fauvism, Abstractism, OP art, and Color Field. The artists Piet
Mondrain, Joseph Albers, Helen Frankenthaler, Wassily Kandisky, Henri Matisse, Bridget Riley were the main focus of the research project. By studying Frankenthaler and other color field artists, he learned that color alone can invoke shapes and textures. His art work is revealing the culture of modern art work
His art work is created thorough the use of Corel Painter on a computer. Corel Painter is a software that allows the artist to create work with different types of media. The user can choose different
brush sizes. Users can control the texture, depth, size, bleed, etc of the brushes. You can have a water color layer. There is a liquid oil layer. In the layers and selections, one can control their brush work. A
Wacom stylus pen on a pressure sensitive tablet is used to draw the artwork.
He creates slide show movies to show the development of pieces. He wants to show people the process of making his digital art. Visit his youtube page to view other digital art works. He wants to continue to use advancing technologies to create art work. One day, he envisions his art work on flexible screens.
