Springfield Museums Events July
Mixing It Up: Digital Collage Paintings by Robert Masla Opens
July 21st, All Day
Michele & Donald D'Amour Museum of Fine Arts
Masla’s collages juxtapose contemporary art tools such as the digital camera and Photoshop software program with painterly techniques that he has cultivated over his 30 year career. By printing and painting on the canvas, Masla creates work that is both abstract and hyper-realistic. He keeps the viewer engaged by alternating passages of painted texture with images of everyday objects in his work. At times it is a challenge to discern between the painted and the digitally enhanced areas.
