PAGE 12, WIIITY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1989 At the McLaughli Exhibit to include computer images Regional artist Andrew Wysotskci is bo exhibit in a solo exThbition, Vernacular, at the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa Nov. 2 -9, 1989. The show will feature a merging of modern tecbnology with traditional oil paint. Since 1986 Wysotski bas been producing computer images of his oil paintings. ee thirty works in this exhibition feature Wysotsk's large oil paintings along with his electronically produced versions, thus providing the viewer with a glimpse into a possible future for painting. "The computer process is extremely exciting to me as it can offer an artist almost unliniited control over an image and the resulting colors have an incredibly luminescent quality inlike almost any other media," said Wysotski recently. I 1986, Wysotldi, who was born in Oshawa and is twenty-six years old, made a trip to New York where the collector, consultant and writer, Dolores Ormandy Neumann,' introduced him ta computer art. He also met New York computer artists iàzanne Merrill and Soli Pierce and was influenced by their work. The trip inspired Wysotski to begin ta film his paintings intoaa computer using a video caxnaera and electronically re-work tbem. He discovered that the process gave hnn an almost god-like control. On bis computer works, the figurative images remain, but they now seem more ghostly. The color still glows but spaced out, seems more muted. The results seem more spare. What Wysotski is after »- ta make paint and canvas the thresbold of his life - is very difficult. But the ambition is noteworthy, and wben Wysotskçi sucoeeds be ancbors his images firmly in tbe viewer's nund. Wyostski bas exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions winning several awards. He is tbe recipient of materials assistance grants awarded by the Ontario Arts Council in 1988 and 1989.
