I graduated from the Alberta College of Art in Calgary Alberta in 1974. I have painted traditionally for over thirty years. Time and space has become a concern in the past few years, I couldn’t find enough time to work on the large canvases I prefer and after moving to a smaller home I didn’t have the studio space I required either. <br /> <br />Two years ago I decided to re-invent my wheel, started to re-think how I painted. I have been involved in the print industry for over twenty years and for the past four years I have been working digitally producing giclee limited editions for other artists. I came to to the conclusion that I should bring digital technology into my paint box. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Technique</span> <br /> <br />I start work on small canvases 8x10, 11x14, 12x16 and 16x20. I work in acrylics, acrylic mediums and gels to create an organic based texture field. When the textural ground is complete I do a high resolution scan and then set to work in the computer. This gives me the freedom to experiment with space and further build techniques to apply on other projects. I call this Acrylic Digital Collage. Currently I am working with basic geometric forms built with from the scanned images. As the process continues I plan to combine drawings, painted objects to merge into a form of surrealism. <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Images</span> <br /> <br />After the intial experiments I’ve settled on working in a 40”x60” format. Once I am satisfied with the image created I produce a single 12”x18” proof print on rag paper, if I am happy with the results I produce one canvas 22”x32” and hold the 40/60 in reserve. <br />I will not produce more one of each size I have mentioned. <br /> <br /> <br />For more information or comments on this new work I can be contacted by e-mail at jwgn@telus.net <br /> <br />Thank you for visiting my Blog and look forward to hearing from you. <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Images</span> <br /> <br /><code><img src="http://my.snackpac.com/pub/matt/undergrowth.gif" /></code> <br />Undergrowth Canvas 12”x40” <br /> <br /><code><img src="http://my.snackpac.com/pub/matt/carto%231.gif" /></code> <br />Carto #1 Canvas 20”x40” <br /> <br /><code><img src="http://my.snackpac.com/pub/matt/carto-2.gif" /></code> <br />Carto-2 Canvas 20”x30” <br /> <br /><code><img src="http://my.snackpac.com/pub/matt/meiosis.gif" /></code> <br />Meosis Canvas 20”x25” <br /> <br /><code><img src="http://my.snackpac.com/pub/matt/summerheat.gif" /></code> <br />Summer Heat Rag Paper 12”x18”, Canvas 22”x32”, File 40”x60” <br /> <br /><code><img src="http://my.snackpac.com/pub/matt/question-of-elevation.gif" /></code> <br />Question of Elevation Rag Paper 12”x18”, Canvas 22”x32”, File 40”x60” <br /> <br /><A href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/45651875@N00/">Click here for more</A> <br /> <br /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/10591413-110741031564683092?l=grey-noble.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>John Grey-Noblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16316316761144083350noreply@blogger.com0
