Olivier Umhauer - HOMMAGE à SEURAT

Olivier Umhauer - HOMMAGE à SEURAT
Digital Art meets pointillism...

Digital technique meets pointillism. Essentially, the digital tool is used by Oliver to demonstrates that the pointillism, intensively used by Seurat (i.e. La grande Jette), is still living. Here the pixelate technique is carefully used to give to the image this "pointillism" touch of Seurat.

The reference to Seurat in particular, outside "pointillism", is difficult to find. Olivier is definitively not an impressionist and its color palette far away from the pastels of Seurat.
Anyway, the most important is the demonstration that the Digital Tools are used to produce artworks of high quality level.

Too many peoples still believe that digital tools are just toys usd by amateur that pretends to be "artists".
