Alex Sutcliffe’s recent paintings visualize artificial spaces which are constructed and then rendered using open-source 3D computer graphics software. This process is influenced by a rich painting tradition of building maquettes and still lifes to inform paintings. These renders explore the idea of painting as a culturally constructed visual language transformed by digital interfaces.
