Description These digitally created images serve as expressions of introverted melancholic feelings in response to global civilization and human existence. Each of the images form their own quiet and ambivalent response to the vagueness of time, place and identity within the information age, and the globalized contemporary culture we live in.Electronically generated, the large abstracted forms invoke both a sense of insignificance and futility as well as a contrary sense of beauty and complexity. The works from a process standpoint stand in opposition to the argued conflict between the linear interface of the computer and the expressive nature of abstraction. Being constructed entirely through electronic means, the works also further the breakdown of the recent historic dichotomy between the commercial design and fine art spheres, with digital imaging being fully accepted by the former and less respected as a medium by the latter.

Artist Statement Padraic Driscoll recently completed his BA from the University of Pittsburgh in Studio Arts and History of Art and Architecture, graduating Magna cum laude. With related study in Philosophy combined with work experience in commercial graphic, web and video production, he brings a diverse theoretical and technical knowledge background to his work which focuses inwardly upon notions of human existence and endeavor, ambiguity and feelings of ambivalence.

His works transcend many mediums including drawing, installation, video, and various digital media. He has, while still studying as a dean’s list undergraduate, exhibited in several local venues and has received a university grant to further his exploration of large scale digital printing. Most recently at the University of Pittsburgh Student Exhibition, he recieved the Studio Arts Department Achievement Award, the A.J. Schneider Studio Arts Award, and the Betty Blockstein Levine Memorial Award
