Chuck Elliott (b. 1967, Camberwell, London) is a pioneer of digitally generated art. These are his digital drawings. Since 1989 he has been drawing, sculpting, editing and compositing digitally. The images are largely concerned with light, line, colour and form. He tends to think of the work as a logical progression to the C20th modernist move into abstraction, fine art printmaking, C type photography, and more recently systems based working. Elliott believes that there’s a natural symbiosis between the work he is making, and contemporary digital music production, DSLR photography, film and moving image work and immersive virtual 3d spaces.
He works in his studio in Bristol, testing out ideas for generating new work that he hopes progress the idea of abstract and colour space art for the 21st century.
After he created his work on digital systems they are exposed onto metallic photographic paper using laser light. These works are essentially camera-less photography. His main body of work is mostly realised as photographic works, often bonded to plexiglass.
