About Philip Noyed
Philip Noyed is an innovative multi-media artist living and working in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He creates luminous VR (Virtual Reality) experiences, abstract photographs, geometric light box illuminations, videos, paintings and mixed media installations. His art work represents the quintessential contemporary art movement making use of creative technology that is changing the way art is viewed today.
Bold colors, light, and high-voltage geometric compositions characterize his versatile artworks that he transforms into wall-mounted or free-standing sculptural objects.
About his artistic Process
Noyed's art is printed as translucent Lambda C-type transparencies, surface-mounted to clear acrylic, framed in white acrylic, and back lit by LEDs or fluorescent lights.
About his process he explains, "I begin by photographing subjects, usually my own oil paintings, at slow shutter speeds, transforming hard-edged, dimensional shapes into vibrant light-emitting compositions." The artist then reworks the photographic images using digital technology, to enhance the color, saturation, temperature and form. "I also skew, distort, cut, replicate and merge the sampled images, creating new kaleidoscopic shapes."
A Myriad of animated transitions
Noyed provides viewers with a mesmerizing experience as a myriad of transitions occur naturally as light passes through the art work. When viewed with 3-D glasses the animated surfaces of his paintings become more hypnotic. His kinetic images provide a dynamic presence that grace many residential and corporate spaces. They combine a modern architectural sensibility with the power to induce relaxation.
geometric Illuminations
Noyed's background as a ceramic artist and also an expressionist painter have imbued his artwork with dimension and movement. In addition to skillful application of design elements, color has always been a constant source of inspiration for the artist.
