Man and Shadow Meet

Man and Shadow Meet by artist Scarlett Raven and Marc Marot. Westover Gallery are proud to present the fifth instalment of ‘The Danger Tree’ series by Scarlett Raven and Marc Marot. With Scarlett Raven donating a proportion of the sales in association with the Royal British Legion.

The series is due to be featured in a month long exhibition in the Titanic Museum in Belfast this year. Stunning new pieces inspired by the stories of World War One, this body of work fuses traditional oil painting with animation, music and poetry.

This Scarlett Raven paintings utilise a tool designed to take the painting process to a place far beyond the canvas: Augmented Reality (AR). Using interactive apps (Blippar or Artvive) observers can reveal the poignant journey beneath the countless layers of paint.

AR reveals Scarlett’s creative journey beneath: the thought processes, the paint strokes, the inspiration, the effort, the musings, the mistakes. It is a place where digital meets analogue. Where paint collaborates with pixels.

Scarlett Raven is a British painter who attended CentralSt Martins where she studied fine art. She secured her first solo exhibition in Cork street a year before she graduated. She describes herself as an Augmentist. She paints impressionistically but uses augmented reality to reveal the deeply personal process beneath each painting.

Man and Shadow Meet in a touching piece of work remembering the past with the technology of the future.

Limited edition available in giclee on paper, or hand embellished boxed canvas.
