Excerpted Quotes on Karin Schminke's Art "Seattle-based artist Karin Schminke is helping to prepare the way for art expression in the next millennium, blending state-of-the-art technology with a traditional art aesthetic. Schminke is as dedicated to the integration of digital photographic technologies with traditional media as art as traditional photographers such as Stieglitz were with integrating photography with art at the beginning of the 20th century." "The combined mastery of the new print media along with her visual bravura allows Karin Schminke to embrace this new technique and create work reflecting her truly personal vision. With grace, delicacy, and technical skill she transcends the material and technical world to transport us to mystic realms and spiritual spaces." "Like the work of Maxfield Parrish, Karin Schminke's prints draw on natural forms and the play of light in transition. By juxtapositioning muted tones against contrasting or even posterized elements, she capture precious moments that most people miss. She combines digital technology with traditional artist media and processes to create mixed media fine art images the are like windows into the natural- or even the supernatural- world." "Schminke's work involves combining photographic, drawing and printmaking techniques with the new digital techniques. The outcome is a synthesis of these categories resulting in the transformation of all these various media. The images derived from that confluence testify for her to the synergistic relationship that can exist between the traditional and the digital media." "For Schminke, the printer is a full-fledged element in the creative process, not just a machine that churns out the finished piece. The result is an interactive continuum that weaves Photoshop so tightly into the fabric of the fine art traditions that it's often impossible to tell a computer was involved at all." |
