New Digital Painting at Juried Exhibit in San Diego

Cross-Pollination: 14 Contemporary Artists in Digital Media

September 3 - 19, 2010

New Americans Museum Gallery, Liberty Point, San Diego

"Ellen Scobie starts with photographs but has become a master at layering different images into an impressionistic whole that harkens to memories both individual and archetypical."

-- Will Gibson, Curator, Exhibition Catalogue

Members of the Digital Art Guild from as far away as Vancouver, British Columbia were selected by curator Will Gibson to show a short portfolio of current work in this exhibit. Curator Gibson explains, "The idea was to find and show a specific body of work by these contemporary artists in such a way as to create an overall picture of the state of digital two dimensional art today. The digital revolution has come to most fields of our society and the art world is no exception. Many of these artists have strong backgrounds in traditional media and have chosen to explore these new tools. ‘Cross-pollination’ refers not only to the mix of traditional experience and digital tools, but also to the communication among artists in the Digital Art Guild. The range of how they approach their work gives the visitor an experience of what is possible and hopefully a glimpse of how things will continue to change in the future."

Artwork by Ellen Scobie selected for the exhibit:

The Waterfall, Sacks of Yesterdays, Awash, Fruit Basket, Reflecting, Daydream and Bird Language.

 

Friday, September 3, 2010 - 5-8pm

Meet the artists at the opening Artists' Reception in conjunction with Friday Night Liberty, the monthly art evening throughout Liberty Station.

Sunday, September 19, 2010 -- 10-4pm

The Digital Art Guild was founded in 2003 as a place for explorers in this new mode of expression, a fertile place to exchange ideas and help each other understand and use these new digital tools. This is the first of many of their exhibits to concentrate on a broader picture of fewer artists. Co-Founder Joe Nalven edits their webzine at www.digitalartguild.com
