Digital art exhibit opens next week at Reitz Student Union Gallery

May 11, 2006

Cross Creek artist Dan Dobson will reveal the many faces of digital art in his solo show “Digital Explorations,” which opens May 15 at the Reitz Student Union gallery. The show continues until June 2. Visitors can meet Dobson at a reception from 6 to 10 p.m. May 26.
 
“Today’s computers are ready to build digital fine art,” Dobson says. His mission is to bring digital art into focus for those who have not appreciated the possibilities.
 
Dobson’s digital artworks are arresting, bold and colorful adventures into the future of art. After working in traditional media for most of a lifetime, he has chosen digital art because the computer offers special creative tools that manipulate images in ways never before possible.
 
“These tools give digital art a distinctive and exciting new look, and pose real challenges for artists, Dobson says.
