PIXEL EIGHT ART

Artwork that won't match your couch!

Welcome to my new online gallery. My name is Chad Wilkerson and I have worked with abstract digital photography since 1997.

Abstract art has always fascinated me.The way the curve of a line, or a certain shade can be interpreted by different viewers. The color red can conjure up feelings of love and longing, or war and pain depending on how it is used, and the experience of the viewer. In that sense, minimal or abstract art is one of the most basic ways of conveying emotion.
Through the use of digital photography I attempt to capture the abstract beauty of the world around me. I use the shapes and textures that nature and mankind provide, from the ripples in a fountain to rusted crushed scrap metal. I try to accentuate or distract from certain aspects of each photograph in order to control the feeling I wish to impart to the viewer, while still attempting to maintain the original integrity of the image. Some of my pieces are quite simple, while others may seem aggressive or complicated, their titles are often a hint as to the frame of mind or feeling I wished to convey. My hope is that each one invokes some sort of feeling from the viewer, be it calming or disturbing.
