Episode seven features the works of Kansas City based photographer Mike Regnier. Michael Regnier's photography has evolved over the years, guided by a desire to interpret the world around him with the freedom that other interpretive mediums offer. He wants to go beyond the reality of the image in the camera and begins by recording the scene with a high resolution digital camera. Then back in the studio, the real interpretation of the images begin. The images are spontaneous. He applies and reapplies layers of textures and colors until it feels right. In his work, he uses contemporary tools and methods to capture hints of the Pictorialist work of the past. He tries to convey the character of both the realistic and the abstract, by means of light, shade, color and texture all working together.
Episode eight features the work of Kansas City based artist Mike Lyon. His work is not digital art. Lyon is a pioneering figure in the emergent field of post-digital printmaking. Combining traditional art materials with automated machine tools and digital technology from the realm of industrial manufacturing, Lyon has developed innovative processes for making his images. Lyon’s work is made with ink and paper, printed from wood blocks and copper plates, or drawn with a pen, but instead of employing the use of his hand, he uses a CNC machine which he’s coded instructions to direct the router’s bit along the X, Y, and Z axis.
