Today, I went on a First Friday art walk around Richmond, VA where I walked to various galleries with a group of friends to discover lesser known artists in the area. I particularly enjoyed seeing work by an artist named Todd Hale as we had actually seen his work at a gallery last year and it was neat to compare how aspects of his work has changed and stayed the same since. Hale's works in the past and present both use color extensively, mainly in bright, highly saturated tones however this time, he seemed to focus on more digital processes. Based on his descriptions and what I could see, he used the movie Alice and Wonderland and altered parts of the film to look unrecognizable. Then it looked like he printed them out and manually cut out and rearranged them on a canvas before pouring epoxy over the piece. I was particularly drawn to these pieces as I am interested in working in a mixture of digital and physical works and it was neat to see a way that both were combined in a single work. I also looked him up and found that he also does photography, another art form in which I am interested. This was a rather neat discovery because he seems be interested in many of the same things I am and while his work is a bit more chaotic ? than I would describe mine, it is neat to see how we both use the same/similar mediums but in different ways. His work has given me more ideas on how I can experiment with mine so I am particularly excited for the upcoming quarter!
