The six works in this new series represent the second set of drawings from my XGen studies, designed to explore, and riff on, the energy contained within a simple X form. I hope they capture some of the kinetic energy and life contained within the essence of the original forms too.
As I was working through a number of ideas for sculpting the first model for the series, I realised that there was the possibility of creating some quite lively underpaintings which would be flatter than the more sculptural works, but hopefully would still have some real interest.
The studies build on a simple X shaped grid that generates the underlying drawings, whilst simultaneously overlaying and experimenting with colour and mark making, to work up the images into something a little more painterly than many of my previous editions have been.
I’m particularly keen to study the way the colour blocks can be manipulated to create a lot of edge interest. I like the idea that the ink seems quite fluid, but also sits on a fairly rigid geometric grid. That combination would be hard to achieve off system I think, and as ever, I really enjoy seeing if I can make the digital speak with a little more soul, and just generally feel more haptic than might otherwise be the case. A lot of the joy, for me, is in the unexpected overlaps and misalignments in the final drawings.
In particular, I’m exploring the idea of using blocks of colour within each study, as opposed to toning the entire image area to create a more singular sculptural piece. I like the idea that there’s a fairly rigid underlying geometry holding together something far more haphazard, almost random even, a built in duality that creates some lively tensions. In fact, there is a partially hidden mirrored symmetry to it all, which makes for a slightly Rorschach feel. So be it. You’re welcome to read whatever you like into that!
Allowing myself the freedom to just dive into the colour palette with less overt rationality, a kind of free jazz approach, is something I’m keen to do more of! It’s about trusting the process to some extent, going with your gut, and allowing the subconscious to become a bigger actor to create a less controlled outcome. It’s a way of working that gives a far looser geometric feel to the final images, and maybe more punch...

Chuck Elliott
Chuck Elliott (b. 1967, Camberwell, London) is a pioneer of digitally generated art. He claims to have used the first Apple Macintosh imported to the UK in 1984, the same year Apple launched the computers with their now infamous Orwellian advertising campaign. Acquiring his own machine in 1989, he has been drawing, sculpting, editing and compositing digitally ever since. Graduating in 1992, he founded a succession of small, successful studios in London. In 2005 he moved to Bristol, where he now works full time on his sublime, fluid studies in light, colour, motion and liquid geometry. Delighting in the machines' ability to hone and craft sculptural drawings, render, edit, mix, cut, paste, sculpt, and re edit, colour spaces are manipulated, light levels finely tuned, and a myriad of images and series of derivations are produced, using processes analogous to the way in which modern music is realised. Chuck Elliott is reinterpreting the essence of abstract fine art printmaking for the digital age. Pure logical progression.
