Landscape W24, 2005

Tolstoy 3, 1970 - 2003



This image called "Landscape W24", was created by starting with 1. traditional oil paintings which were digitized and imported to the digital studio, 2. photographs imported to the digital studio... printed, re-painted, digitized and imported to the digital studio, 3. All of them Re-Worked in the digital studio, printed as digital pictures, 4. Organized in HTML and Java script code for web viewing. Digitized from the web and presented as you see it.


This image called "Tolstoy 3", is taken from a finished oil painting, digitized and imported to the digital studio. Re-Worked in the digital studio, printed as digital picture.


The concept of Re-Involving a work of art into a new generation of art may begin with any medium. The start might be a photograph, a painting, or drawing, or a printed image which might combine several sources. The reason for re-involving a work is to continue the investigation. To see what happens.


The ways that re-involving art seems endless. There was a period I called Re-Birth, where I took paintings compleeted in a previous series and painted back into them. Some of them retained the image of their previous incarnation, others went on to resolve into new works.
