Title: Bleeding Away
Born in Shropshire, UK grew up on the Dorset coast.
Studied at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art and North Staffordshire
Polytechnic.
This montage style brings together several different areas of work:
the love for paper and paint, collecting imagery with photography, image manipulation
and travel.
All of the photos/found materials come from my travels.
These images start as heavily worked paper and paint. The scratched colour
soaked results are then scanned. Photos are mixed in and additional elements
are added. The work reflects my interests in the changes our society and nature
have on the environment. The marks created by our daily activities and the
natural elements become over time evidence for these activities.
Manufactured objects exposed to the elements begin to decay changing back
into a natural state. Nature is reclaiming the materials we use. These processes
are a central theme in my work.

by hand to combine images and to create new visions. I took photographs of
human bodies, and transformedtransform them into new shapes and located them
in the images of different environments. In 1995, I started using Photoshop
and became aware of the possibilities ofto enhancing the process and achieving
otheranother new visions. Since then, I have continued to exploreexploring
the possibilities of the digital collage.. I exhibited those works

as well as sculpture and traditional media. His influences include Futurists

Title: PA9910V0
In 1995 Pascal Yelle broke out of the corporate box to pursue
his art full-time. With a degree in Computer Science and more than a decade
of experience working in the corporate world Yelle decided to make changes.
He based himself in New York City and in his East Village Studio Yelle began
the process of developing and experimenting with a unique style and technique
using only the computer. The path he set for himself is to humanize
digital by creating warmth and feeling using the digital form in the context
that reflects our time.
Along with his East Village digs, Yelle also draws a great deal of inspiration
for his digital paintings from his varied travels. In the past years he has
spent time painting in different parts of the country as well as Paris, Rome,
Venice and Montreal.

Artist:
Ray Caesar (UK/Canada)
Title: Messenger
Title: Companion
Title: Silent Whispers
Born in London England 1958
Emigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1967
I attended the Ontario College of Art from 1976-1980
In 1996, I went back to school to learn digital animation using Alias Studio
and eventually ended up working at GVFX in Toronto as a senior 3D artist and
animator. I worked with Maya creating animated digital matte paintings for
science fiction TV shows like Stargate, Total Recall 2070,
and Relic Hunter and immersed myself in character modeling, texturing
and animation setup. All this eventually led to Gemini and Emmy nominations
( Total Recall 2070 1999 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Special
Effects for a Series). Although this was exciting work, I had painted for
many years and felt that using digital animation software to create art was
profoundly more interesting, especially since the advent of newer printing
technologies from Iris and Epson.
