NEXT EXHIBITION > Ai & ART Inspired by The Lake District

 

This new, special exhibition, titled ‘Art & Ai – Inspired by The Lake District’ exhibits original framed works of the Cumbria landscape in charcoal, mixed media and print, alongside a video slideshow of my drawings and paintings transformed into moving landscapes.
 
For the very first time, traditional hand-crafted art and Ai is experienced together in one exhibition in The Lake District!
 
You and guests are invited to the opening afternoon on:
 
SATURDAY 14th SEPTEMBER 2024
From 11am until 3pm
At: COOK HOUSE CRAFTS
First Floor Gallery
Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria LA23 8BS
Meet the artist & Soft drinks available
 
The Lakes is the perfect landscape for countless inspirational hotspots, and using the power and variety of Ai tools, I took to evolving my practice by transforming multiple originals into a short-videos. Representations of rainfall, light reflecting off water and clouds rolling between the hills, are some effects which can be seen set in motion!
 
I will be exploring Cumbria and its most popular views and destinations, and revisiting the familiar and dramatic locations in The Lakes. I will be presenting new and past works and giving them the Ai treatment. All original works and prints are available to buy, and the offer to remove sold works will be available to the buyer.
 
Art & Ai – Inspired by The Lake District

Further notes from Daniel Cooper:
“Initially I was rather suspicious of all things Ai, but as the tech became more mainstream – particularly in its utilisation in online creativity – I became intrigued. Clearly Ai tech is advancing rapidly, and my exploration has led me to want to try it as another form of media, as if it is just a part of “mixed media” in a painting. It is general practice for artists to take photographs or scan their work – for record keeping or print-making. On top of this, I modify these images using specific Ai tools that are almost completely directed and controlled by my own input, to then produce a short video. Nothing can replace the actual original hand-made artwork, but I look to Ai as a tool to add to the drama, the passing of time and the motion of light in my landscapes. As I continue to reflect on my experiences in Cumbria, observing, communicating, creating and changing, I am not just recording what I see, but also expressing my moments in time – in a place I love to be. I feel this is why I embrace modern and traditional creative techniques from our changing world with landscapes of timeless beauty.”  – Daniel Cooper
