Inspired by an art movement that never happened.
Digital Painting / Collage • Created in Photoshop • 2008
As the title of this series suggests, these works were created in an Impressionistic style. However, The Impressionists are not paintings in the traditional sense. There is no real paint and no canvas. These are manipulated photographs of textures such as paint, rust, mold and bird droppings arranged to give only an impression of each subject.
Words and the possibility of their double meaning is a theme that runs through many of my pieces. For these works, it is the series title that is a play on words. These pieces are not only innocently mocking the style of the Impressionists, but are only impressions of real paintings as well.
