Splatter Painting

The irony in the title Splatter Convergence is these forms are intentionally crafted rather than by an accidental splatter. Brent Holland makes multi-dimensional paintings using digital and traditional media. Splatter Convergence is created with original images painted, drawn and collaged onto multiple layers to achieve physical and perceived-depth. Painted from observation using digital media without the aid of photography, using quality materials, the creation of Splatter Convergence was a valuable process completed over four months. Attention to color theory and skilled painting qualities inform these organic hi-definition forms. "Channeling representation and abstraction, my painting is a multilayered meditation upon time, space and my sphere of existence. I’m fascinated with emerging technologies such as 3-D digital sculpting and printing. I have access to cutting edge technologies and I experiment with them as much as possible. I am, however, a painter and understand that a print on plastic does not have the same characteristics as a painting. The print is more mechanical, lacking the surface nuances so important for my paintings, for example. As a result I combine printmaking and painting to create multi-layered artworks. The possibilities are endless and this is exciting for me."
