The Exhibition

he IAACC Pablo Serrano opens

the new edition of the program
Lateral Impulse 2015, with
Digital2, the work of Jaime Sanjuan. His work is doubly digital: all the
above pictures are digital paintings
painted with his fingers on an iPad.
As a result of his artistic training in
traditional media (oil, pastel, watercolor, acrylic, etc.) the techniques
used by the artist are very similar to
those used in traditional paintings,
giving their digital works a marked
pictorial character. Their detailed
works represent, in some cases,
nearly 100 hours.

ue to the conceptual problem of a digital hyperrealist

painting does not differ at all
from a digital photograph,
the surprising hyperrealism of its first
digital pictures soon evolves into a
style close to Surrealism. By exposing Digital2 the author wants to jump
from the screen to the wall and bring
this new type of art to the public.

SO, WHAT IS...

Digital Finger Painting ?
Digital Finger Painting is a new wave of i-Art. It
can be created using finger-painting techniques
in applications such as Pixelmator, Procreate2,
Brushes and Sketchbook Pro. (some of them just
for 4.99$)
The craze is even established artists, who are
abandoning their canvases in favour of the 9.7inch iPad screen.
Galleries across the world are hanging the extraordinary digitally-created pieces on their walls
and some iPad prints are even being sold for
hundreds of pounds.
Ehsan Azzuz, who works with computer graphics
by day, produces stunning artwork on his daily
commute.
This is not an entirely American phenomenon
either. David Hockney, probably Britains most
famous living artist, has put aside his paintbrush in
favour of creating artwork on his iPad.
The artist, who has also in the past exhibited
images created on his iPhone says: The iPad is far
more subtle, in fact it really is like a drawing pad.

Tools used by digital finger painting artists are:

Pogo Sketch Pro: Artists love the Pogo Sketch Pro.
This stylus combines a natural, ergonomic grip,
the very best in tip technology, and a balanced
unibody aluminum handle.
Procreate2: This app includes brushes ranging
from true-to-life sets of pencils,inks and
paintbrushes to wonderfully imaginative
digital effects, providing all the tools you
need.
