How to reconcile the parametric automation of image making and traditional technique? What’s expedient and functional is often a product of the tools that created it with very little to distinguish it from one creative to the other. My digitized scribblings traced over by vectors then imposed onto physical canvas leave room for explorations that otherwise would not have been possible.The contrast between crisp lines and textures play on natural light within the environment they inhabit and not the isolated backlit environment of a monitor they were composed on after the inital sketch and in this process the next work is better informed and communicates the trajectory to follow.


Isadore we enjoyed meeting you at PfS dinner recently at Frank’s home. I finally got time to look at your website and I like the works very much. Good luck putting together a great studio on your new piece of land
Great admirer of your work for a long time. I would really love to know how you actually create your paintings. Are they collages made from applied dried acrylic sections or somehow painted directly and then masking tape removed to create the lines?
Regards

Probably never a good idea for an artist to demystify their work by going into the process of things but the latter is the more correct assumption.
First, everything is designed digitally with various imaging tools , then I trace the patterns, tape, texture them and paint with a few minor steps in between. It’s a multi-step process that has evolved over a few hundred paintings. Thanks for your interest.
