Carollyne Yardley, Jose Brand and Paul Dowd at The Massey Gallery - AGGV

 

This show features paintings by three artists: Carollyne Yardley, Jose Brand and Paul Dowd who have made professional careers as Art Directors in the game and technology industry. Creatives working in tech are often excluded by their fine art cohorts, due to their association with digital media.
 
Digital media is both a challenging and liberating medium. However, there are no lucky accidents. It’s during the production stage, before we build our digital world, where the artist is most free to explore, and to give their imaginations free reign. 
 
Many people don’t realize concept development often begins in traditional media – hand drawing, painting, pastels, and photography. In this show, you’ll see the creativity and skill that opens up our story worlds, and give form to the visions that drive a digital industry.
 
Going analogue, these pixel wizards use paint and canvas to highlight their talents beyond software programs.
 
#Strangelings weave the art and tech communities together.
