This week I choose a piece of art by
an artist the name of Gerhard Katterbauer.
He was born in 1954 in Linz, Austria, and lives and works in Vienna. Katterbauer studied ceramics at the College
of Art in Graz and sculpture at the Academie of Forming Arts in Vienna. Katterbauer’s art is careful reconfiguration
of his own digital photographs taken on "study trips," often of architectural
sites, collated with free-hand drawings done in Painter and human figures
derived from Poser. This piece is a 3D rendering; which is
composed of different lights and shades. Katternauer believes his work is an effort to "show
new things, a combination between “real and unreal". Rendered art has both
reality and mystery; some of the scenes may be photo-realistic, the 3d effect
caused by the simulation of light and shadow, which the computer is adept at
simulating. Some 3d artists think of themselves
as sculptures and players in geometry.
Very interesting Maya...I thought at first this was done in Photoshop, but in reading your description, and even more impressed that he created a 3-D rendering and incorporated photographs to texture. His objects.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing this one on the MOCA website; strangely, it reminds me of not only New York, but the newspaper with a women in the mix. Some of the more basic colors of white that other artist don't use as much; cool..
