The Age of Steam - Montage Cubist Photograph

The Age of Steam ^ please select the tab for prints to see the canvas print information ^ Conversations with friends that appreciate old steam engines and recollections from visiting several working steam museums over the years were the inspiration for this picture. Whilst recently studying post-impressionist art I came across the work of Umberto Boccioni (1881-1916) and his famous picture ‘States of Mind – The Farewells 1911’. Together these experiences formed the concept for this picture. My artwork explores the cross-overs between photography, collage, digital art and cubist paintings as a way of capturing memories and imagination. The pictures are created using a pen and ink style digitally, based upon my own photographs, and are printed with high-definition inks on stretched canvas. The picture depicts a steam journey from the purchase of tickets, waiting at the station, the arrival of the train and a view out of the carriage window at passing countryside. The elements are combined in a montage of views from multiple viewpoints simultaneously, just as one would experience in real like. Futurist and Orphism concepts like repeating patterns of the wheels and circles have been used to capture the essence of motion.
