Catalogue Note

“I don’t see how that is any different from an artist using a pen or pencil… but yes, for me it means it is an analog rendering (the painting) of a digital original. Ultimately, they come out as a handmade thing which is kind of a weird distinction to make these days. Also when I say analog, I think of it in musical terms like the difference between vinyl and CDs. The screen is digital – smooth – whereas the canvas is real in that it has texture” (Jeff Elrod in conversation with Bill Powers, 'Jeff Elrod: From Comes First', Muse Magazine, September 2014, online).
