The paintings are produced intuitively through a constant daily practice. They find their formal language in several places: in the wormy ‘brushstrokes’ and RGB colour-space of the tools, in art created for the digital screen such as computer games or GUIs and also in modernist abstract painters.
I feel there is an ever-present debate about the authenticity of digital painting –painting is often defined in terms of its relationship to materiality and the physical body, especially some of the painting I most enjoy. Eventually I make the paintings into physical objects – I fabricate them and here I may be staking out some sort of position in that debate for the time being.” Kevin Miller
