Description

In Rising, Charles Csuri engages directly with the language of painting, using digital means to construct perspective and spatial illusion through layers, density, and transparency. Shifting between opacity and lightness, the work evokes traditional painterly concerns—composition, depth, and the gradual buildup of form—while achieving a subtle internal luminosity.

Csuri created the work using a proprietary digital tool he engineered to simulate transparency in digital prints, allowing him to control how layers overlap, absorb light, and appear to glow. These calibrated interactions produce a sense of atmospheric space more commonly associated with paint than with code.

Printed on Hahnemühle fine art paper, Rising resembles a technicolored dream landscape. It exemplifies Csuri’s later explorations of digital image-making, which emphasized the continuity between computational processes and painterly tradition.
