Tj Silverlake

TJ Silverlake is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. "I consider myself a painter, but I almost never touch paint. I paint with pixels. I consider the digital tools available today to be the true ‘fine art’ tools of our time. For my work to be relevant, I need to be using the latest technology. I need to be out on the edge using these tools; to be engaged with this culture, this time, this world."

Fictional Landscapes. TJ Silverlake has worked with digital since the early 2000s, using terrain generating software to create digital worlds. Snapshots were taken and printed at high resolution. The astonishing detail of the finished pieces intrigued him. He explored digital in the same way he explored painting, developing artistic processes to blend, contour, and layer; with the same respect for composition, tone, light and integrity of color. “Aesthetic decisions are being made at each step. Something I care a lot about is the discipline it takes to do digital artwork. The same discipline that applies to any kind of artistic endeavor."

When he works, he is conscious of the viewer. The scale, detail, tone, colors and visual cues are designed to engage the viewer in a journey, to be drawn into a deeper experience....
