Press release

Paper New England presents The Digital Palette.

The Digital Palette presents a selection of prints created by artists who utilize digital technology in their creative process. This exhibit includes artists from a digital art community that is worldwide, yet connected with only a few keystrokes.

Just as the computer has enabled advances in virtually every technical field, it has also empowered artists to explore and visualize in ways that were unimaginable only a short time ago.

Digitally generated imagery encompasses a wide range of techniques, from digital painting created with virtual brushes, to fractal art generated by algorithmic calculations. It enables artists to mix media and techniques in unlimited ways.

As computers and software become more powerful, artists will employ an almost magical power in the virtual world. We’ve only begun to see the possibilities.

Artist include Thomas Demuth, Rich Hollant, Steven Huczek, James Knowles, Dorothy Krause, Karin Kuhlman, Bonnie Lhotka, Adam Martinakis, Cyd Miller, Kasahiko Nakamura, Alex Ruiz, Paul Selwyn, Hal Tenny, Bogdan Zwir and others.

The Digital Palette will be on view from May 2—28, 2011. An opening reception will be held on May 6, 6:—9 p.m.
