THE CEMENT WALL No.001 Print

In the future, I believe art collectors will no longer need to frame and hang their physical artworks. They will display their art collections as digital manifestations inside synthetic environments. Therefore I have started work creating a series of rooms designed as homes for my figurative artworks to be displayed and collected in. These rooms are available as NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and can be purchased here: This image is also available at Saatchi Art as a high quality, high resolution art print. My work in feature films can be described as a process of seemingly endless revisions focused on creating a series of perfect sequential, preconceived, idealized, digital moving images.  In comparison my direct and intuitive approach to figurative art is quite the opposite.  That is why I thought combining these two very different approaches to image making would make for some intriguing and provocative pictures.  The addition of historic figurative works, present in some pictures, help build a metaphorical bridge between yesterday's art history and today's contemporary art. The sculptures and most of the environment sets seen in this series are computer generated. I used a multitude of different techniques and softwares to achieve the final composite. To produce a renderable three dimensional version of the real world sculptures I used a technique called Photogrammetry, where specific software interpolates many photographs of the original sculpture and translates that data into a 3D topology mesh file. The most satisfying part of all the digital procedures is when I’m able to light and render the textured geometry that I had to build in order to make these pictures possible. The addition and tweaking of the physically correct lights add the final touch to creating drama, depth, and atmosphere to the final rendered image. On display in this image is a figurative painting by Wayne Traudt (2004).
