This 'painting' is from Andy Stringer's exhibition, 'The Destabilisation Of Perception.' His medium was Photoshop on Mac with a Wacom tablet and a little bit of Illustrator and Painter. Many conservative artists do not accept his paintings and just call them images because they were created digitally. They believe medium for paintins should be oil, acrylic, alkyd and so on. However, as society developed over time so did the technologies. The medium used for painting in 13th century and ones used for painting in today are totally different but they still call them paintings. Artists used techonolgy they had at their time period to create arts. Charcoal for caveman, Oil for Renaissance man, and Computer for Today's man.
Because his painting was done in computer, that doesn't mean Andy Stringer's paintings are any different than the ones done in brushes. He only had a few advantages such as 'undo' actions. His work is mainly formed by the mutiple lines and filling in the space between those lines. His work visually engages the viewers with the complex forms and their relationship to each other. In the review, it says that the composition of his paintings in the gallery makes them a lot more interesting.
