flag qualities and color over texture
My Series 7 – digital painting / art prints – Dan Beck 2005
What works in this digital painting are the colors – there is a creaminess to the blue of imagined sky or water because of the different tones and overlaps. The green is pleasing and underlined by a light shade of red – making what might be interpreted as a flag of colors.
It is a little square, but then again the bit of background texture which shows through the left side of the piece in particular – gives the work an interesting depth.
All of the pieces in this series juxtapose the smoothness of the color gradients over the coarseness of texture. They all created this unique world and hint at something represented while not actually representing anything but the digital painting itself.
