STATEMENT. 


The practice of AD-Reflex can be likened to a physical experience of the digital world. Utilising digital elements and 3-D modelling techniques with traditional painting, the work borders on the alchemical where no clear distinction can be drawn between the painterly and the digital. An AD-Reflex painting is a fusion of opposites, uniting the gooey mess of paint with technology’s clean, polished and seductive veneer. Subsequently, their work forms a distinctly new visual language that is resolutely grounded in the ‘here’ and ‘now’. 

Rather than treating these mediums as opposional, AD-Reflex approach them as collaborators - each capable of extending, disrupting, and reimagining the orher’s possibilities. Their work is characterized by a wealth of pictorial fragments with a flowing and somewhat deceptive spatial arrangement that results in a collage-like gathering of distinct pictorial motifs. 

With a strong focus on prcesss, their work seeks to open a space where painting is no longer confined to static surfaces, and digital technologies are not reduced to tools of reproduction. Instead, both become sites of active inquiry - where illusion is constructed and undone, and where play generates new formsof seeing, thinking, and experiencing images in an ever increasing mediated world.
