Digital Paint

Dense abstract digital painting of overlapping black silhouette-like shapes, jagged white bursts, and orange, blue, red and grey forms packed tightly across the surface.

Digital Paint gathers a shifting selection of digital works made by hand through colour, line, texture, pattern and layered marks. It includes completed pieces, experiments, works in progress and images that may later move into more defined series.

The works often begin without fixed outcomes. Forms gather through drawing, painting, layering, erasure, repetition and reworking, allowing figures, masks, landscapes, structures and abstract spaces to appear, dissolve and return. Some images remain close to pattern and surface, while others lean towards bodies, faces, architecture, weather or strange narrative fragments.

Although made digitally, these works sit in conversation with drawing, painting, collage and the wider photographic practice. They share an interest in emergence through process: images forming through accumulation, accident, pressure, revision and partial recognition rather than from fully settled plans.

The collection below grows through occasional posts, gathering individual paintings, small groups, experiments and older works brought back into view as they are added.

  • Abstract digital painting with bold black gestural marks over orange, gold, purple, white and black patterned forms, suggesting a dense winter forest through layered textures and fragmented shapes.
    Forest Landscape in Winter Colours (2025)
  • Abstract digital artwork with layered reds, golds, and blacks suggesting ruins, smoke, fragmented bodies, and a dark sun within chaotic textured forms.
    Black Sun Rising (2023)

    Drowned Amphora (2020)
  • Abstract digital painting of interlocking black, deep blue, white and orange-red shapes, with blocky silhouettes, jagged fragments and symbol-like forms suggesting movement, collision and disruption.
    Exploding Parts Last Dance (2025)

  • Tall abstract digital painting of a complex intersection of green, magenta and yellow geometric planes overlaid with wavy dark purple ribbons and fine white contour lines against a red perimeter.
    Figure (2018)
  • Dense abstract digital painting with layered orange, blue, black, pink, grey and white shapes, symbols and fragments suggesting creatures, maps, signs and coded forms.
    This Way Up, Then Revelations Come To Pass (2025)
  • Abstract digital painting with an elongated face-like mask or head, perhaps beaked, outlined in bright pink, green and white against vivid red and blue fields with layered gestural marks.
    Hawking Strangely Threatening Birds Of A Multicoloured Paradise (2025)
  • Abstract digital painting dominated by saturated reds, featuring a central dark vessel-like form overlaid with chaotic red scribbles and framed by thick black lines against patches of violet and ochre.
    Red Landscape (2020)

  • Abstract digital painting of a large, swirling head-like form in yellow, orange and violet, overlaid with thick pale grey-green looping lines against a deep blue-purple background.
    Hedonist 1

  • Vivid abstract digital painting with hot orange, pink, red and blue layers, looping gestural lines, translucent blocks and dotted textures suggesting an overheated coastal city or urban mirage.
    City By The Sea, Or Sparkling Orange Fever-Dream in Condominium Desert Heat (2025)
  • A digital abstract painting on a blue ground, with tangled orange lines, black organic forms and fractured shapes on the left, and regimented white cross-like forms advancing across the right side.
    Warheads (2023-24)

  • Abstract digital painting with large black silhouetted forms in the foreground against a textured background of gold, pale grey-blue and muted ochre geometric and weathered marks.

  • Abstract digital painting of a dark halftone form resembling an industrial air compressor gun on a red and violet ground, overlaid with pale blue looping brushstrokes, black linear marks, and fragmented text repeating the title.
    With Hook & Gun (2021)
  • Abstract digital painting of vertical dripping forms in vivid red against a background of murky browns, blacks and streaks of royal blue, suggesting submerged figures or organic matter.

    Particulate Matters (2020)

  • Abstract composition with skull-like forms, orange outlines, dotted textures, and gold accents against black, creating a surreal and chaotic atmosphere.
    Night Moves (2023)
  • Abstract digital painting of two tall vertical forms on a solid blue ground: one built from thick red grid-like lines, the other wrapped in bright yellow-green spirals. Small white geometric outlines float around them.
