Curatorial Statement
Curated by guest curator Yasufumi Nakamori, decipher: hand-painted digital reveals an unexpected aspect of digital art, where artists decode and interpret digital technology, and then paint, sculpt and create works by hand, expressing human marks and often emotionally charged gestures. In decipher, artists use technology as an extension of the hand or as a conceptual tool, to create works with a sensibility that are at once, subversive, ecstatic and expressionistic.
This exhibition is part of the Rotunda Gallery's Lori Ledis Curatorial Initiative, a competitive program that supports emerging curators. The program gives young curatorial talents the opportunity to realize a large-scale exhibition in a professional museum setting.
