The opening reception for the FPAC Group Show is Tomorrow, October 14th 5:30-8:00pm.
"This piece is called "Coy" ---although it is really a Koi.
It is a digital collage created from a Japanese kite fish.
My images usually begin by inspiration of a printed piece. I attribute this
to my background as a graphic designer. In the case of Coy as in most of
my digital collage pieces, I begin by scanning in the source material
into the computer. Then through a series of digital layering experiments
with Adobe Photoshop I reconstruct a new composition. Then make a print.
For many of my images, this is just the first step.
I like to embellish the image with pigments, mica powder, or even glitter.
Sometimes I may deface the print with scratches or sand paper.
(I began to do this mostly to escape the criticism of my work being "just a print.")
The prints are usually mounted on a board and finished on with multiple layers of acrylic varnish.
Recently I have begun to experiment with printed, patterned, and metallic
papers that I prepare with a digital ground... Still experimenting." ~Kaliontzis
