Wade Guyton

"Wade Guyton's paintings are ostensibly black monochromes. Made with an Epson large format printer in the same manner as the paintings he has been producing for the last years, these works are printed on pre-primed linen intended for oil painting and not inkjet printing. As such, the images, marks, and letters Guyton continues to employ are absorbed into the porous material and disperse the ink rather than allowing it, as in his previous works, to "sit on the surface." Upon discovering this difference in the ink's interaction with the surface, the artist began to overprint his own paintings with a Photoshop-drawn rectangle "filled" with the color black. By repetitively overprinting, an unexpected painterly process developed. As each piece is created, they transcribe a visual record of the printer's actions: the trace of movement of the print heads, the varying states of their clogged-ness, the track marks of the wheels on wet ink all mixed with the scratches and smears on the paintings from being dragged across the floor to be fed back again into the printer." - Friedrich Petzel Gallery.

Lauren Pelc

I like the similarity between Lauren Pelc's digital paintings and real ones made with oil painting or acrylic painting. It's interesting to see how she gets similar strokes, textures, colors, gradients, forms, etc in both ways. Lauren works the digital pieces using several softwares such as Cinema 4D and Photoshop, first she works with the three-dimensional program creating 3d volumes and forms and composing them, then it is altered using Ps. As O Fluxo says; Lauren uses images of sections of her paintings as references or textures to map onto 3-D objects.  For Lauren, the goal is to create images that maintain various dualities.. That can sum it up her interest in the many ways that paint and brush strokes can be altered and remapped with the aid of digital imaging programs.
