AM DeBRINCAT Solo Show: Halogen Venus ARTIST STATEMENT My paintings blend found digital images with printmaking and oil painting to explore the place where digital and analog meet. I’m interested in expanding the language of painting through the intervention of digital photography. Just as we strive to find a balance between our online and offline lives in the contemporary moment, my paintings blend digital imagery with the handwrought language of painting to explore the harmony between online and offline, digital and analog. Combining these disparate languages in a visual puzzle, the paintings ultimately explore how we create identity in the digital age. ABOUT THE ARTIST AM DeBrincat is a Brooklyn, New York based artist whose work merges traditions of painting, digital and analog photography, and printmaking. DeBrincat was born in San Francisco, California and grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area at a time when the area was transforming from a counter-culture creative hub into a center of the tech industry. That push-pull between creativity and technology echoes in her work in the way that she combines digital photography with traditional painting techniques. After a brief stint as a baker’s assistant, DeBrincat received her MFA from Parsons the New School for Design and began making paintings which combine digital photographic collage with old masters’ oil painting techniques. Taking her inspiration from the pastel colors of baked confections, she builds up creamy oil paint on the canvas with brush and palette knife, applying the paint as a baker would frost a cake. These rich areas of creamy painting are juxtaposed with photographic imagery, emphasizing the way that our digital and “off-line” lives blend in our contemporary moment.
