Art Flyweight III

Art Flyweight III, Giclée Print
297 x 420mm
2020

Art Flyweight III is constructed from elements of improvised sketchbook drawings and paintings made in 2022 and brought together to form a new digital image. One crucial difference from other digital constructs in this phase is the use of felt tip pens. More cartoon-like images came out – as a teenager my dream job was comic artist.

The title is a joke about status in the art world and simultaneously sounds I think like the name of a fictional collector.

Art Flyweight III is printed with Lucia Ex Pigment on Hahnemühle Agave 290gsm paper in an edition of 200 and is available to buy in my shop: richardguest.bigcartel.com

Dirt

Dirt Giclée Print
297 x 420mm
2020

So, Dirt…Dirt is constructed from elements of improvised sketchbook drawings and paintings I made on paper and canvas and brought together to form a new digital image in 2022.

It’s one of a series of digital constructs – a technique I’m still drawn to using – that began years ago. The original idea was to combine the spontaneity of Expressionism with the particular limits of digital tools.

What I like about the technique is the surprise effects that happen when you juxtapose paint and pencil marks from different sources. In this image I can see animals.

Dirt is on sale as a print in my shop: richardguest.bigcartel.com
