Ideas to Form II

'red on green'

Using the iPad to play in the technological world of colour interaction. 
I guess this approach is not for the 'art purist' but using the app 'Brushes Redux' you can technologically alter the saturation, contrast and achieve some fantastic definition. 
I especially love when two colours crash into each other achieving that amazing tingle of contrast - for me Im after a 'zing' from my work. Im not interested in the flat and dull, I want my work to be of interest to the viewer, make them look harder at the piece and question themselves as to what it is they are interested by.

'why not?'

'overlay'

'Drums'

   
How to reproduce this luminosity is the question? My next idea takes me to working with acrylic perspex. Ive never attempted this before but what if I take a digital image and print it onto perspex - not only will I get the vivid luminosity Im after, (some purists would suggest 'artificially' created colour). but I can go big as well!

My thoughts on technology assisted art: I think its a great asset to be able to embrace and use technology to push boundaries and build on ideas. I believe it is still art, even if it is artificially created as some would argue. Pure technology or embrace both approaches to bounce and ignite off each other - for me, embracing technology is the way to really make sure Im not missing anything - its all about stretching the boundaries and imagination to progress thinking and ultimately your work. 

Take Chuck Elliott, International contemporary artist who starts with sketches and ideas, progresses to digital to create the imagery and colour - 'liquid geometry' then either digitally prints or manually prints.http://www.chuckelliott.com


Now my mind is on overdrive what if I then build on this colour sensation and add intermitant coloured fibre optic lighting ...... off to the workshop ..... this is soooo exciting!!!

'inversion'

'simplicity'
