Bryan Kilgallin's art

Art is creative and imaginative expression. Here I list some of what I've done. The medium headings link more specific pages. They have examples.

Acrylic

My early art classes used this medium. It's fast-drying. I've won prizes with synthetic polymer paint.

Artist's statement

This describes my work.

I have scored in the top 1% for visuo-spatial aptitude. I'm conscientious, and think abstractly.
I'm autistic, and obsessive-compulsive. For which, I was advised art as therapy.

I am Mahayana Buddhist. So I improve everyday reality. Hence I find beauty in the mundane.

I had a career in informatics. So now my medium is digital. I draw on a pen display. With which, I use vector graphics software. I'm in a digital media group. My displays transmit light. They need to be used in shade. I'm in an urban sketching group. Which I join for interior venues.

My career began scientifically. In which, I learned the experimental method. This experimenting varies my results. I endeavour to learn my medium. So my art explores technique.

Judges liked my shaping a reference. Digital images work easily with the Internet. So my audience is global.

Digital Media

This is a modern innovation. Digital art expresses dynamically! It is the only medium that I use now.

I've won first prize for Digital Art.

Here are my animation, and drawing. The links show examples.

Animation

This is a filmmaking technique. Frames are shown in rapid succession.
Here are two projects. One simulates a bouncing ball. The other traces a video.

Illustration

I started with raster graphics. Nowadays I use vector software. This link is to my gallery.

Exhibitions

I've been in some art clubs. Which have held exhibitions. At a few, I won prizes.

It's always nice to get an award!

Here's my market survey. Club artists offered low prices.

Mixed Media

The cubists began this, a century ago. The artwork is made from different materials.

Oils

This medium is popular. Pigments are bound in drying oil. My example is a portrait.

Photography

Photography records light. I have an old digital camera. This page shows my more popular photos.

Printmaking

Here I mean manual printing onto paper. Ink is transferred from a matrix.

Watercolour

Pigments are suspended in water. The linked page is about an art group excursion. That was outdoors. Which method dates from two centuries ago.
