Combines
The term “Combine” was coined by Robert Rauschenberg to describe his innovative series of works that seamlessly blend aspects of painting and sculpture. Rauschenberg’s Combines broke new ground in the art world, merging two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements to create dynamic, multi-faceted pieces that defied conventional artistic boundaries. In the spirit of Rauschenberg’s groundbreaking approach, I have developed my own digital interpretation of the term “Combine.” My process involves using photographs, textures from various objects, an array of digital brushes, and intricate patterns to craft unique cross-medium creations. This method allows for an exciting interplay between different mediums, resulting in artworks that are rich in texture, depth, and visual intrigue.
