James Vinciguerra
The world through my eyes tends to want to be exaggerated, yanked, twisted. My method of drawing fast and aggressively has the desired effect of creating movement and verve. The painting of the drawing grounds the image in a magical place. It sits between the real and the fantastic. My main subjects are architectural yet I also create human portraits and figure studies.
The work is created using a combination of traditional and new techniques. I first draw the subject in a variety of mediums. These can include mono-print, charcoal, colour pencil and collage. I then scan the desired image into my computer and paint it digitally.
The mouse is utilised as a tool in the same way I would use a pencil or brush. I literally draw with the mouse. The resulting painting is a luminous merging of hand drawn and digital paint. The final process, to make the ephemeral painting on the computer real, is to produce giclee prints of the image. Each print is an original in much the same way as silk screen prints, for there is no ‘original’ painting.
