Abstract:
The research objective of this project was to create a unique pipeline for integrating 3D lighting with Abstract Expressionistic painting (TATE, no date b) that served the artistic goals and creative intent of the artist. The final result is a critical creative practice pipeline to that allows the artist to unpack the effects of a year-long lockdown on creativity and growth. Inspired by the Light-in-Space movement (The Art Story, no date), a combination of computer graphics (CG) lighting and painting techniques are used to create custom shadow casters from painting scans, and, manipulation of scanning technology to render a final abstract effect. The completed pipeline serves as a framework for creating a unified body of work.
