converting indecipherable language into art
Symbolic Language 1 - digital painting - Dan Beck 2007
Small, it looks like a madras material - I think I’ve had a few shirts like that over the years. If you look at it fuller sized if you didn’t already click on the image, you will see symbols underneath the colors.
I went searching in the browser cache to see if I could retrieve an article which got lost/destroyed. I was not able to find it, but I did open something in a plain text editor which revealed these really interesting sideways, upside down, mirror imaged - what to me are nonsensical but beautiful symbols.
I don’t know if it is decipherable - and I am not sure I care, but I couldn’t resist copying and pasting to make the backdrop for a few abstract pieces …
I have been sadly lacking on my abstract art work these days.

Abstract madras mountains and large format art prints
More Mountain & Clouds - digital painting -2004 - Dan Beck
Somewhere in the middle of the piece showcased yesterday and the one showcased two days prior, was the creation of the above piece.
The hill mountains are swallowed by clouds - a common occurrence here, but one which remains incredible to look at. The treatment of the mountains was like an abstract painting - a madras collage - not so much about how they look as how they look and feel.
This piece is only being offered in a large format. You can see it gets more interesting with each enlargement, but would become ever more exciting with this madras mountain look exposed.
One would think that with the sophistication of computers, one could create digital paintings which would work in a multitude of sizes right off. It can be done, but not always - and for me it has taken experimentation and development.
