Mr Penfold: Part Time Technophobe
Perfectionism is often a vice for budding artists, but for Mr Penfold, it is his edge.
Overview
Perfectionism is often a vice for budding artists, but for Mr Penfold it is his edge.
His obsessions with exactness have lead to the creation of many hand-painted works that look as though they were designed by electronics and produced by a printer.
His latest exhibition Part Time Technophobe is an example of his latest offerings; the title offers an explanation of how the paintings came to be.
A student of the technological age, Penfold discovered the capabilities of the program Adobe Illustrator, and promptly taught himself how to use it. After the basics were securely under his belt, he realised that what he wanted to create was a tangible product, something that he created with his hands directly, a something that was flawless by talent, not by design.
Brisbane’s taste of this remarkable body of work will be for one night only, before it moves to Melbourne for its extended showing. Be sure to catch a glimpse while you can; paintings without a human fingerprint are a rare treasure, a new realm of human production.
