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 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 artwork with layered reds, golds, and blacks suggesting ruins, smoke, fragmented bodies, and a dark sun within chaotic textured forms.
