Arboreal art
Take a photograph and reinvent it to create a brand new work.
This collection of digital art was inspired by a post by South African photographer and artist Herman van Bon who used a specific material to create a series of abstracts.
I examined my own images of tree wood in its various forms, and decided to take it far from its original state with a digital injection of colour and fresh textures, emphasising – often transforming – what was already there.
Everything from molten gold to multi-colour madness resulted from the organic, dependable hues of wood.
Magnificent, Mike!

Interesting translations of the everyday here, Mike! The ‘small screen’ doesn’t really do them justice – I can see them as huge prints in on a gallery wall! :)

Thanks Richard, yes, I think some of them could be wall fillers. It was interesting to stick to captures of just one thing too.
