James VinciguerraSaturday 11th November Onward
A dynamic collection of colourful and lively prints and drawings by James Vinciguerra will be showing at The 03 Gallery this November. Vinciguerra's work, which features architectural landscapes of Oxford, Cornwall and London, amongst other locations, is created using a combination of traditional and new techniques.
His process is initiated by drawing his subject in a variety of mediums. This could include mono-printing, studies in charcoal or colour pencil, and collage. Vinciguerra then scans the desired image into a computer and paints it digitally using the mouse as a tool in the same way that he might use a pencil or brush, literally drawing with the mouse. The resulting painting is a luminous merging of hand drawn and digital paint. The final process, to make the ephemeral painting on the computer real, is to produce prints of the image.
Each print is an original in much the same way as silk screen prints, for there is no 'original' painting.
