About the Item

Duraflex silver halide print, digital painting. Edition of 5. Unframed. At first blush, Gary Kaleda’s digital paintings appear to be traditionally painted with the softest of brushes and the palest of colors, in a manner befitting a master artist who worked for many, many years to achieve such subtlety in oil. A closer inspection reveals this can’t be true—the gradations in color and texture are too precise, bordering on the scientific, and the transitions between these changes infinitesimal. Kaleda begins with a digital model, which he uses as a reference to paint from, much in the way a traditional painter would use a live model. But painting with a computer offers processes and techniques that are a departure from tradition. Kaleda paints using the tools of Photoshop®, Illustrator® and Painter® to create an artwork that he then prints as a Duraflex® silver halide print. Kaleda incorporates QR codes that contain the information about the artwork and act as artist signature. GARY KALEDA STATEMENT Witnessing the birth and growth of the digital age had a powerful impact on my work as an artist. While my formal art training was grounded in tradition, a parallel path developed involving the creation of art with the computer. As technology changed history, my work changed with it and my paintings progressed from mixed media to all digital. I saw the world become more connected on a global level, but increasingly isolated on an individual level. And within the terrifyingly vast landscape known as the Internet, I looked on as an entire culture turned away from face-to-face communication. Intimacy became cybersex, and true identities were replaced by ideal or false personas, yet we still long to connect. These themes emerged in my figurative paintings and continue to inspire my work today.
