IBBOTT, Stephen

These images are a selection from two series: “Love in Digital Times” and “Love in Desperate Times.” With these paintings, I am exploring the amazing resilience of love in a world that is besieged by an unremitting flow of stereotypes about relationships and sex, a culture of instant gratification, and a looming environmental disaster.

I incorporate the languages of art and technology by first composing digitally then realizing them in paint through a painstaking manual process. The digitally-created look of the paintings in this way unites the thematic world of digital images and new media with the subject of relationships today.
