Artist Statement for Stanley Bowman

I am a digital artist, photographer, and painter. I began photography seriously in the late 1950's but turned to creating digital works beginning in the 1980’s, My involvement with digital imaging has expanded since then to include still images, digital video, 3D animation, and digital music.
During the last few years for still images I have collaged together flowers. Most of the floral objects I use in a still piece are initially scanned in on a large bed (11x17) flatbed scanner because I have found over the years that I can get finer detail by scanning as opposed to working from a camera image. I have also found that a scanned image has a special quality of lighting not achievable through other photo processes. For assembling an image I piece it together on the computer using Photoshop.
The geometrically shaped canvases seen here present an outline that is unique, one which goes beyond the more common and expected rectangular character of a picture. It draws emphasis to the work as an object itself. Finally floral objects push outside the geometric shape to attract even more attention. The result is a stronger three dimensional experience for the viewer.
My most recent work is from a series of abstract images which I call “pixel paintings”. First to create the work at all I have to apply the pixels by hand on a computer screen (painting). Moreover I zoom in to the pixel level of an image to feature the basic building blocks of a still digital imagery. At the same time I also create exact repetitions of groups of pixels which is another defining characteristic of digital imaging. Finally behind it all I am seeking to express my emotions which center around the great excitement I find in this digital exploration and the pleasure in creating mostly abstract shapes and colors out of pixels.
I was born and educated in California, and I was a Professor of Art at Cornell University for 27 years, teaching photography and digital art. I also served as Associate Dean and Acting Dean of the College of Architecture Art & Planning. Currently I am a Professor Emeritus of Art, but more importantly I am a full time exhibiting artist.
