MOCA ARTIST: WEEK 3

Werner Hornung

Werner was born in Konstanz in Germany. He arrived in Paris in the early 1970s where he pursued a career in advertising. Apart from running his own studio, Werner always felt the need to fulfill himself through his own artistic creations away from the constraints of the advertising world. His first personal works were collages. Then he used the computer as a tool which allowed him to develop his artistic expression. He enhanced his work by using Photoshop. His personal work has been exhibited on the internet for some time and his participation in various competitions on the web has earned him several awards. For Werner, the most important element in art is the creative mind and not the medium.

“The most important software is situated at the right side of your brain and called INSPIRATION.”

""What does digital art look like? If looking at the work raises questions as to whether it might be a painting, print, or photograph, and the answer is "yes" to all three, then it is most likely a piece created from within the emerging digital aesthetic."
JD Jarvis "Going Digital""
For me, this artist work is extreme and unique.  He is very creative and detailed oriented with his work.  I find his work different with some of his tactics.  However, this is what we call “ART” in many forms and that’s the uniqueness of this artist!
