Artist Collections: JUSTIN WORHAUG
Worhaug's work exposes the balance between highbrow and lowbrow aesthetic standards. Utilizing specific analog and digital equipment, Worhaug's work is able to borrow from the industry standards aesthetics such as colour, content and technique, therein functioning to mediate ideas concerning corporate identity and ancient symbolism. He is then able to see the physical practice of traditional painting through a teach- supported lens.
Utilizing the semiotics of digital tools such as "Selection Tool: Drag", " Rulers and Page Guide", and "Fitting: Fit Contest Proportionally" Worhaug is able to see the physical practice of traditional painting through digital technology. These visual traces left behind on the paintings can be seen as moments of progress and time stamps- a sort of digital ephemerality which have been embedded in the layers of paint.
