About The Artwork
Halcyon is a C type photographic image, printed on Fuji metallic paper, and Diasec mounted between clear Plexiglass and DiBond. It’s fitted with a hidden subframe, so it appears to float 15mm in front of the wall. .. Halcyon is a study in line, action and depth of field. The study comprises a dozen or more curving lines entering into and out of the image space, expanded to varying degrees as they travel. The depth of field creates a central focal point for the eye, surrounded by varying levels of diffusion as the line work travels around the core. For the silver solar piece I then solarised the image, using the language if not the exact technique of Man Ray’s extraordinarily beautiful Rayographs. Solarising occurs when a partially developed photograph is flashed back under the light source, and in so doing causes the darkest areas of the image to burn out, becoming highlights, whilst the midtones darken and the highlights are maintained. It’s a fabulous technique, with great opportunities for some fairly random results, which contrasts perfectly with the control of the digital drawing.

Chuck Elliott (b. 1967, London) is a pioneer of digitally generated art. He claims to have used the first Apple Macintosh imported to the UK in 1984, the same year Apple launched the computers, with their now infamous Orwellian advertising campaign. Acquiring his own machine in 1989, he has been drawing, sculpting, editing and compositing digitally ever since. Graduating in 1992, he founded a succession of small, successful studios in London. In 2005 he moved to Bristol, where he now works full time on his sublime, fluid studies in light, colour, motion and liquid geometry. Delighting in the machines' ability to hone and craft sculptural drawings, render, edit, mix, cut, paste, sculpt, and re edit, colour spaces are manipulated, light levels finely tuned, and a myriad of images and series of derivations are produced, using processes analogous to the way in which modern music is realised. Chuck Elliott is reinterpreting the essence of abstract fine art print making for the digital age. Pure logical progression.
