Platt
Painter
“Considering the contemporary cyber modes of existence, my paintings challenge boundaries of the physical and digital human. I utilize a hybrid approach to painting through digital simulations that inform my reflective, figurative oil paintings to depict the human as beyond physical reality.”
Ethan Platt is a Toronto based artist working with a hybrid studio practice to consider the body in contemporary cyber spaces. He paints merging traditional oil painting techniques, digital simulations, and intuitive painterly strokes to create works that mark the intersections of analogue and digital atmospheres.
