Michael PETTET (UK)
Michael Pettet explores art and digital painting through the prism of different media. At the forefront of digital art, Pettet embraces the challenge of imbuing the product of technology with soul. With digital tools, he follows the traditional painting process, where the drawing tablet is the canvas, the electronic pen is the paintbrush and Photoshop is the palette. The internal dialogue, which is affected by the environment and surroundings, is a major theme of his art. In the series titled Lament, Scapa Flow and the most recent project – Chernobyl Diaries, location becomes defamiliarized and personified.
