experimentation with unfamiliar leads to work slightly reminiscent of Dali and aberrant to own body of work
Start-lings – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck circa 1999
This piece will in someways always remain an aberration in my body of work. It was an early digital painting and was quite experimental. The style I landed upon was in part because of my limited understanding of the program.
I chose stock color gradients and patterns to paint with – and an opaque color setting which is also the default. What I landed on was fun though – I am particularly partial to the multicolored artichoke looking thing and the floating shapes throughout.
Although not in anyway intended to be surreal, I have always found this somewhat reminiscent of Salvador Dali. I am going to hunt down some examples – see what you think. It is obvious I am not copying him anyway.
