Full title: This Used to be A Painting, and Before That it was A Photograph
Oil on canvas, 40x30cm.
This started out as a photograph of two young women using some ancient minicomputer. I cropped a random part out of it, then printed it through a printer almost out of toner. I projected the resulting streaky, messed-up image onto canvas, and painted over it as realistically patiently, and carefully as I could. Then I scraped all the paint off with a knife. Hints of red, green, and blue have been added to refer back to the picture's origins.
It's all about image reproduction, traditional techniques, digital processing, and the unreliability of technology.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it. Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.
In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
Have a great time everyone and please fav this article so as many people can see the featured works. I would recommend seeing each one and faving them too.
