However, I am having some difficulty in finding a single critic or critical theorist, or philosopher that maintains the argument, ‘Computer art isn’t art’. Can you help?

I use the computer as a tool…it does not compute my creative thought! And trust me you got to know the basics before you can call yourself an artist of any sort. I studied traditional techniques and composition. If Tracy Emin can make a bed in the middle of a gallery why can’t I make a digital one?

It’s a highly processed, sterilized, emotionless medium, implemented by geeks who have absolutely NO artistic ability whatsoever.

Art is emotional, not logical. It’s not about number-crunching & technology. The latter is a curse to humanity, in many ways. Technology has made people fat, lazy, instant gratification seeking shlubs who can’t even be bothered to “get dirty” with a little paint & charcoal. Newsflash: If you don’t enjoy the “mess” of conventional mediums, then you’re not a REAL artist.

Most people love it because I base my art on colour first. I make limited editions small runs as clients feel much more comfortable with that, max 20, open editions and also commissions, . I have even got two of my pieces on to BBC that will be shown later in the year. Traditional painters, people like myself who paint on canvas, paper etc whatever the style and some art critics/galleries etc don’t see it as real I have had some people say wow that’s an amazing picture how did you do it and the word Digital art comes up and they go oh it’s an easy option, cop out, sell out etc, (luckily there are less of these as time goes on) I am an abstract painter and yes I get amazing colours doing it this way, but I still use the traditional way of painting and have replaced my brush, paint, canvas and easel for a screen, tablet and pen. I still paint traditionally and get messy now and then with paint, but I love the options that the computer gives! We should embrace this technology and use it to compliment what we do not people try to devalue it.
