Waverly Cybernetic Temple Painting

While exploring the interrupted image and fragmented figuration, these works are intended to capture the the anxiety and instability of our time, while employing a disintegrating and glitching pictorial plane that taps digital tendencies. " In his painting practice Harley Smart reflects an interest in the changing nature of the image in these digital times. Recently forcing "˜profile pic' portrait work into glitched, "˜fucked up figuration', while also mingling sensors, data projectors and his paintings to challenge traditional viewer interaction with the painted support, he has set himself up in the new camp of post-digital painting." ?
