Re-Painting Architecture
Alex Kaiser

First Year - Spring 2010

Morwell 1.01
Tuesdays 2-5pm

 

"I am unable to make any distinction between the feeling I get from life and the way I translate that feeling into painting"

– Henri Matisse

Stranded in the corners we painted ourselves into during the Painting Architecture sessions, we do our best to paint our way back out of them, possibly ending up in an even stranger place than where we started out.

 

Building on the previous sessions, the students venture into and try to draw more experimental territories. Tools are presented that allow for a photorealistic approach to the representation of those previously unknown spaces and environments: from matte painting techniques through to digital texturing.

 

How is complexity sketched? How is intricacy painted? How do we suggest forms and details and materiality without painting every pixel? Bridging the gap between the digital and the analogue world, this course – essentially a nine-hour painting exercise – aims to bring the students into the realm of the experimental, the fantastic, the stunningly beautiful.
