Have you seen the exhibit? Do you like prize winners?
Hi John, thanks for popping by! Although I would have loved to see the works “in person”, I did take a look at all the entries & winning works on the MOCA website. WOW!! What I truly found amazing was the variety of individual digital techniques used by the artists. When one looks at art created using traditional mediums, ie: oil paint, watercolour etc, the chosen medium can be more readily identified by viewing, with digital works it’s more like looking at a mixed media work, you might question how the artist created it, as we can infuse so many different styles & techniques with the use of layers to make our final visual. If that makes sense?
You ask if I like the prize winners, yes I do for certain reasons, but I leave the judging to the jurors, as art is so subjective, I could never be a juror, too tough a job for me!!! :o)
One work that personally really caught my eye for being a truly innovative & strong image is titled: Dancer, by Mary Sargent.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the exhibition John!
Cheers :o)
Well, I have not seen the exhibit “in person” but I have seen it all on the MOCA web pages. I like some works (Helga Schmitt’s “Red Shape”, Yusuke Sato’s “Sol”, Dolores Kaufman’s “Day into Night”, both Katrin Ruutli’s works and yes - the “Dancer”), just a few of the prize winners are ok (1st prize, works of JD Jarvis and Ellen Scobie), but there are a lot of very poor works, the majority. I would not make a list, of course.
Hi John, thank you for your reply and sharing your thoughts. What’s really awesome is that the MOCA Museum of Computer Art Gallery will give digital artists worldwide the opportunity to exhibit & promote their digital fine art both in the online gallery as well as in a real gallery too - (brick & mortar)giving the artists additional exposure & also a chance to sell their exhibiting works.
Wishing you a good week ahead! :o)
