Artificial Construct (4)

Artificial Construct is a series of experiments I made in digital collage, large format printing, and acrylic painting. An iterative process wherein I first made digital collages, then printed them at a large scale, painted over the prints, scanned the painted prints, edited the scans in photoshop, printed again and repainted.

This was a process I was using extensively around 2012-13.
The following paintings also use this digital collage/print/paint process:

Crazyological Dive
Porn Farmer
Torture Garden
Malpractice

The collage/painting/printing process gave a lot to the method that I used to create Crossroads of Curiosity in 2014-15.
