Chuck Elliot’s digital paintings have a slickness and glow that make them as enticing as a next gen smartphone. Chuck starts from a base of logical algorithms, and develops exquisite, lyrical patternings that glow in a myriad of vivid colours. A bit like music turned into light, his paintings have a hypnotic quality that somehow reflects how emotive technology has become a part of our daily lives. The impulse to connect, the desire to grab the phone and touch the screen: Chuck’s paintings are like the urge to slide into cyberspace.
