About The Artwork
Artificial Light is a series of images that use landscape photographs with digital painting overlay. The series was started in 2021 and is now in the finishing stages. I shot all the photos with an M- OM-D mark lll mirrorless camera. Abstract Expressionism has heavily influenced my past, and I was accepted to the Philadelphia College of Art(PCA) as a painter in 1971. After the mandatory foundation year at Art School, I changed my major to Film/Photography. The photography department was headed by the late renowned photographer Ray K Metzker. Who was known for his assembled film strips' and abstract photography? One of his tenants was the use of negative space in black and white photography. The series explores the concept of visual energy between positive and negative space by digitally painting graphic shapes on the image to manifest another element of artificial space. I've chosen colors to balance the composition and create harmony with the background image. In Artificial Light 1,2,3), I used an algorithm and filters to create directional movement. The image titled 'Three Pears is characterized by the interplay between positive and negative space. The painted overlay appears as a double exposure resulting in visual, kinetic energy that animates the compositions. However, the painted light emanating from the three pears creates a halo of positive space, making a negative space around the halo. This contrast between positive and negative space creates a sense of tension and movement that draws the viewer's eye into the composition. In other pieces, I've used colorful geometric lines and shapes over attractive landscapes to break up the space and move the eye. Overall, the photographic style of the series exemplifies the power of positive and negative, redefining our definitions, thus creating visual energy and dynamics. My goal is to create visually striking and emotionally engaging art while exploring how we define positive and negative space.

Marc VanDermeer who goes by the online nom de guerre, VanDi, is a mixed media digital artist from the USA. A traditional abstract artist started painting at the age of ten. He was initially taught by his artist/sculpture and poet mother, Carol Levy Vandermeir. His formal art education began at the Philadelphia College of Art (UArts) in 1971, graduating with a degree in film in 1976. He followed with continued part-time education at SVA, Parsons, and Silvermine School of Art. Working across a pastiche of artistic genres and style in a creative mélange of thought-provoking fantasy and surreal imagery. His body of work expresses his flirtation with photography, painting, and digital media. He is crossing modern expressionism, street art, collage, classicism, landscape painting, pop art, minimalism in an artistic mash-up of award-winning art. VanDi explains, “Legacy for me is paramount; I see myself as carving that legacy each time I produce something new.” When asked to define his style or influences, Marc replies It’s challenging to describe my current style, which is dictated by both anatomical observation and mood. Choosing sometimes to express his thoughts and philosophy on canvas or the digital screen. Producing colorful mood evoking art or graphics in black & white." The artist, a lover of classic art and new NFT media, has been in over twenty group and virtual shows in the past twelve months alone. “Art is both an addiction and cathartic part of my daily day.” Marc has no current representation; his physical work is available on Saatchi Art and his website. His NFT work may be seen or purchased on Bitski., Opensea, Kalamint, and Async Art. All links: http://marcvandermeer.net/bio https://linktr.ee/mvd953
