uk.blouinartinfo.com/news/story/1043725/australian-artist-michael-staniak-tops-phillips-paddles-onHere's the press release from Staniak's last show in Los Angeles: Steve Turner Contemporary is pleased to present Image DNA, a solo exhibition by Melbourne-based artist Michael Staniak, featuring paintings that seamlessly combine attributes of analog and digital processes. Although Staniak creates the paintings mostly by hand—he builds up texture with uneven layers of plaster and then paints the surface in a range of ways—the paintings bear an uncanny resemblance to flat digital prints. Indeed, one must view the works up close to perceive any texture or depth, and as such, they behave like contemporary trompe l’oeil paintings that baffle the senses. Some paintings do however utilize digital methods of output and in so doing create a dialogue between the two modes of production. These works explore a new aesthetic in painting, one which is influenced by digital technologies, including touch pads, smart phones, personal computing and the Internet. Technologies such as these are enabling a new kind of authorship, where everyone from the professional to the amateur image-maker has access to creative tools and viral methods of distribution. Thus, a myriad of instant digital creations have begun to circulate on such sites as Tumblr and Facebook. There the focus is not on the origin of an image or information about its creator, but rather, the focus is on the steady flow of content. Images are curated and recreated— they constantly evolve with seemingly no beginning or end. Easily appropriated or deleted, images on the Internet are now as much omnipresent as they are fleeting.

I guess this is really that kind of art that "comes and goes"... maybe there is interest for a while, but it's just that while. Nothing special to be remebered

I really liked Staniak's trompe l'oeil paintings of digital landscapes but the new series of ground up dvd's don't do much for me. After the "hit" series the body of work that comes after always has a tough act to follow. You never know if they are a one-hit-wonder or have more ideas in the well.
