Digital Art of Petra Cortright

March 14, 2017 by Arseny Vesnin in Digital Art, Art, Portfolios

Already named as the Monet of XXI Century by Artsy's Charlotte Jansen "beyond botanicals, her current practice is increasingly aligned with Impressionist ideas, but for the 21st-century set" digital art of Petra Cortright is something to focus on now.

"Her most recent works, now on view in concurrent exhibitions at San Francisco’s Ever Gold [Projects] and Berlin’s Société, are evidence of this: digital paintings filled with flowers and water lilies that are instinctively reminiscent of Monet. Both shows illuminate Cortright’s multi-pronged process. She begins by sourcing imagery online, employing a sort of digital impasto technique to make what she calls “a mother file,” which she then manipulates and prints onto various substrates—such as aluminium panels, sheets of linen, rag paper—which are layered to create the final painting, varying in opacity and translucency." says Artsy

“I came up in such a boy’s club, surrounded by guys—technology-based work can be very guy-heavy. When I was at Parsons, there were maybe three girls in the whole program, it was crazy. Pinterest is heavily geared towards women and I wanted to be using more of that imagery and energy, trying to make something that a lot of people really make fun of, things that are reductive to something that was additive.”
