Camera-less Imagery - The Art of Gero Gries


Title: Plantage - Image from Artist Gero Grie’s website

Gero Gries has dedicated himself to creating artistic works using digital techniques. He understands computer-aided image production as a continuation of painting by other means. Although his images seem photo-realistic, they could not be achieved with a traditional lens. The images are entirely constructed by the artist himself, using an array of continuously developing computer techniques, which place Gries’ work in closer proximity to painting than to photography. The comparison becomes more evident due to the artist’s choice of classical themes and genres. snippet from artists bio @ [DAM]Berlin website
