Computer Paintings on linen

Petra Cortright

A presentation of digital paintings, that occur as a result of editing and intervening on a vast collection of fragmented images sourced online. Each painting derives from a “mother file”, which subsequently undergoes a series of transformations through editing software. Comprised of a considerable number of digital “brushstrokes” created in Photoshop the paintings are built up layer by layer. Further manipulation of texture, light and colour, enable Cortright´s work towards reconfiguring the element of flatness in digital works.
