Painting 3.0: From Pigment to Pixels

Painting 3.0: From Pigment to Pixels

For decades, artists have experimented with digital tools, often incorporating or referencing technology in their paintings. As a result, cutting-edge collectors have come to seek, if not expect, these innovations from artists. At the same time, art is now part of the direct-to-consumer economy through online platforms and auctions. As the time we spend online accelerates, we are ever more seduced by the virtual experience of art, which continues to improve as technology evolves. Increasingly, paint and code are interchangeable.
