ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"I Can't Stand It" is a Digital Monoprint and like a painting there will only ever be one signed and authorized. "I Can't Stand It" is a highly graphic pop-art image that takes a subtle ironic look at our paternalistic culture. Why? Mostly because these things just look cool together. This is a photographic hyper-real image that needs to be viewed up close to appreciate the detail. Created June 30th, 2017. I try to connect the world around me in as graphically forceful way as is possible. Culture, guns, weapons of war, homelessness, douchebags, koi, insects, skulls, Coke, dictators, copper wire, dunes, seas, body parts and bodies, and automobiles are images that I work with. I compose single images out of multiple disparate found images.

TJ Silverlake is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. "I consider myself a painter, but I almost never touch paint. I paint with pixels. I consider the digital tools available today to be the true ‘fine art’ tools of our time. For my work to be relevant, I need to be using the latest technology. I need to be out on the edge using these tools; to be engaged with this culture, this time, this world." Fictional Landscapes. TJ Silverlake has worked with digital since the early 2000s, using terrain generating software to create digital worlds. Snapshots were taken and printed at high resolution. The astonishing detail of the finished pieces intrigued him. He explored digital in the same way he explored painting, developing artistic processes to blend, contour, and layer; with the same respect for composition, tone, light and integrity of color. “Aesthetic decisions are being made at each step. Something I care a lot about is the discipline it takes to do digital artwork. The same discipline that applies to any kind of artistic endeavor." When he works, he is conscious of the viewer. The scale, detail, tone, colors and visual cues are designed to engage the viewer in a journey, to be drawn into a deeper experience. Fusing hyperreal, abstraction and fantasy, the artwork is complex and multi-layered. It’s not about a quick read. AI and Art. Since the summer of 2022, he has been exploring AI. "For me, AI as just another tool. I bring to it the same painterly process I use with digital and traditional media. Only with AI, this is done with words. With time and creating thousands of images, I’m creating a vocabulary, looking for series of words that cause an AI algorithm to ‘paint’, to mimic artistic processes." From the beginning, he avoided the stylistic prompts that are widely used. There are no prompts using ‘in the style of’. "I’m not interested in copying Rembrandt, Warhol or any other artist. My goal is to create original art. The mindset I have as an artist, my experience, is brought to the creation of prompts. As my vocabulary matures, the images evolve. AI produces beautiful and surprising imagery. There is rhythm, movement, at times colors are dancing with each other." "Art engages different parts of our humanity, our emotions and intellect. Art opens a space for us; allows us to see, to feel, to connect … Art moves the culture forward.” "It’s time for an intelligent dialogue.
