Digital Painting
Bruce Bayard • Martin Steele
April 25–June 6, 2025
Artists Talk: Saturday, April 26, 12–1pm
Reception: Friday, May 16, 5–8pm
Both local artists Martin Steele and Bruce Bayard collage images using digital tools, layering images, narratives, and meanings while they create visually distinct works. At the intersection of digital image collage and video performance, Bruce’s work is a fusion of visual elements and abstract narrative through innovative mediums. He navigates the language of symbols to convey layered meanings. Embracing randomness as a creative tool, Bruce’s work invites his viewers to engage with evolving narratives shaped by chance. In this realm of digital expression, he seeks to challenge perceptions and provoke thought, inviting an exploration into the worlds of space between personal and public. Similarly, Martin has always loved the term ‘snapshot’ because it perfectly captures the idea of what happens in photographs. Sourcing imagery from his prodigious and idiosyncratic archive that contains thousands of images, Martin works in a characteristic palette of saturated hues and chromatic aberrations to invite his viewers into a composition of visual rubble and a unique version of history.
