Tom R. Chambers Documents

Tom R. Chambers is a visual artist, photographer, and digital art pioneer. He has been involved in digital/new media art and technology since 1997. His work explores digital manipulation re: Suprematism, Geometric Abstraction, Minimalism, Color Field, and other experimental techniques. Chambers has exhibited his work extensively around the world and has been involved in a number of artist-in-residency programs. He has also taught and lectured on digital/new media art and technology. His work is recognized for its innovative use of digital techniques and its exploration of societal issues.  "Pixelscapes" is a term often used to describe a type of digital art that uses pixels, the smallest unit of a digital image. This term is also associated with Chambers' work. He creates series of artworks under this namesake, where he uses pixel manipulation techniques to create abstract, geometric compositions (  https://digsup.my.canva.site/  ). Extended version: Tom R.

In 2000, Tom R. Chambers began to look at the pixel within the context of Suprematist and Geometric Abstractionist art. He equated the pixel with the works of non-objective artists like Wassily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, Josef Albers, Barnett Newman, Mark Rothko, Ad Reinhardt, Piet Mondrian and others. They generated works to establish an abstract visual language of the sublime, pure color, geometric form, deep contemplation and metaphysical pursuit of the truth.  The pixels or "Pixelscapes" - as he calls them - conform with many of these non-objective artists' works. They are a revelation for him when compared to these non-objective works generated many years before the pixel and Digital Revolution. Chambers began to study various images at the pixel level via Photoshop (GIMP) to scrutinize their configurations and color schemes:  J.D. Jarvis (Art Critic) states: "In terms of Minimalism, Chambers' works seem almost elaborate, with strong patterns emerging from...
