“Perception: Pigment & Pixels”
The exhibit title "Perception: Pigment & Pixels" refers to the perception of old versus new techniques and how people judge recent applications in the field of art. In particular, pigment compared to pixels or traditional painting versus digital painting.
Steve says, "When discussing digital painting, many people think you push a button and artwork magically is created in deepest crevices of the binary code in a computer. I’m still searching for the magic button. On average, my digital art takes the same time to complete as an oil painting. I go through most of the same procedures – a reference photo, drawing and finally painting. The biggest advantage is that I don’t have to wait for the paint to dry. It is just a different way of artistic expression and both should be equally appreciated for their own merit. I get extraordinary joy from painting on various substrates. I truly love painting in oil or acrylic and can’t envision a time that I wouldn’t do so. However, digital painting gives me that same feeling but in a slightly different way. The excitement of taking a Wacom tablet, stylus and computer to create fine art is very freeing. My style varies from piece to piece, more so than my traditional art. I believe it has to do with an experimental attitude within the medium."
Steve sees creativity as a way to explore our inner selves ... to push our abilities to the limit. For Steve, pushing the limits is more about grasping what is available today and applying it to his craft.
The purpose of this collection of work isn’t to promote one method over another. It is more about understanding and appreciating artwork on its own without making a predetermined judgement on whether one takes more skill than the other. In Steve's experience, both can be equally difficult or simple depending on the moment in time they were created.
