“When you put something on the Internet, it’s mine.” (Petra Cortright)
Petra Cortright has been called ‘the Monet of the 21st century’ and is considered one of the foremost artists of the ‘Post Internet’ and ‘Net Art’ movements, known for her digitally created art works across multiple mediums including You Tube videos, digital paintings as well as projections on metallic and archival surfaces. Her work questions new technology and its effects on contemporary aesthetics, society and culture.
Lifted from Google Images and Pinterest, Cortright creates her paintings by manipulating these images on photoshop and reintegrating them into ‘digital’ paint, morphed and layering them on top of one another, which are then presented as still-life paintings as with Boylinks.
