Cast
Cast is a relief painting on canvas that combines digital photography, 3D modelling, and sculpture. Although it appears to represent a microscopic life form, it is actually an abstraction resulting from a multi-layered experimental creative process. This work, produced as part of a large series, was made from a rough pigment surface modelled in 3D and scanned by Daniel Lefcourt using photogrammetry software. The resulting digital image was then transferred to a painting on canvas in relief by means of a foam moulding made from the 3D model. Cast focuses on the material by confronting the virtual with the physical reality of the materials and the images that materialize in them. Somewhere between sculpture and painting, the work questions the production of images and the status of painting, whose limits it aspires to go beyond through the use of digital technology.
