About the Artist
Charles Carver started his career as a
scientific illustrator and research assistant with training in the
biological sciences. Through intrigue and experimentation, he has
developed his own style of digital fine-art with an emphasis on the
organic and perceptual, in contrast to the technical and synthetic
productions often associated with digital art. His work has been
shown in the United States, Australia, Europe, and Russia through
selection into an elite group of digital artists by the 2002
International Digital Art Awards, the 2001 Seybold Seminars Digital
Art Awards, and the Macworld Digital Art Contest (years 1998, 1999,
2000). He is a featured artist in the book "Secrets of Award Winning
Digital Artists" published by Wiley Publishing in Sept 2002, as well
as a featured artist in Digital Fine Art Magazine and Digital
Photography and Design Magazine. Charles was recently commissioned
by The Bronx Zoo for a series of illustrations displayed in their
new "Alien Stingers" Exhibit at the New York Aquarium. He has also
been selected for inclusion into an art book called "Visual
Creativity" published in Vienna, Austria (Dec. 2003) to showcase top
international achievement in visual creativity in the fields of
advertising, illustration, computer animation and game design.
Artist's Statement
"I look to suspend my work in a genesis of
forms with a potential to unfold into various levels of meaning over
time. Each composition is a compiled depth of such meanings, as well
as simply an image to a more naive perception. In that regard I view
my art as well as the process as fundamentally an extension of that
creative activity performed by the senses- for sense perception does
not merely copy a ready-made world, but rather, completes that world
by transforming the raw material it receives into a fully lived
horizon."
