Enter Gary Maddock Greene’s world of Impressionist image-making
ost of my working life has
been spent in the graphic
design industry. Traditionally
trained in the early 1980s
as a ‘drawing board, ink and
paper’ graphic designer, I quickly needed
to embrace technology at the dawn of
the desktop publishing revolution. I’ve been
hooked ever since turning on my first Apple
Mac. Now, almost 40 years on, my iPhone
and iPad are my creative tools of choice.I own a basic Canon EOS DSLR which, it has
to be said, I only occasionally pick up now.
I had always assumed that I needed the
highest resolution, the best lenses and
the most expensive filters to be able
to create print-quality images.
With smartphone technology moving
at such a pace, however, I’m learning that’s
not necessarily the case – certainly not
for my current style of work. I can
create and edit images on my iPhoneand commercially print them to A2
paper size with ease and quality.
I’m a lifelong fan of the Impressionist,
Cubist and Futurist artists; Turner, Monet,
Braque, Picasso and Boccioni all had an
influence on me. In recent times I found my
attention being drawn to images that I felt
emulated the works of these great artists,
the most notable being Pep Ventosa’s
‘in-the-round’ style of images.
