‘From analogue painting to digital sculpture’. The masterclass is designed for Northwest artists and creatives, especially those interested in new technologies.
From analogue painting to digital sculpture, graffiti/video artist Sumit Sarkar will share his journey and talk about the new technologies that inspire him and which might inspire you along. Sumit will also create a live 3D digital sculpture.
Sumit Sarkar is a visual artist whose artwork takes the form of digital and analogue paintings and sculpture, animation and work inspired by graffiti. The content of his work ranges from the fantastical characters of Sumit’s KrikSix world to his modern interpretation of the Hindu gods, Ananta, through to his sculptural graffiti work, Kerst.
Sumit also works as an AV director, animator, illustrator and workshop leader, and is involved in various live art events around the UK, from aerosol art and drawing battles to live digital painting and sculpture.
“Sumit Sarkar works with the interplay of opposites, bringing together analogue techniques and the use of paper, pen, metal and stone with cutting-edge digital and robotic technologies. Drawing on icon, metaphor, science fiction and comic art, Sumit moves fluidly between painting and sculpture, and between figurative and abstract. ” words by Harriet Sharkey
