interStella Quad
The interStella folio comprises sixteen printed editions arranged into four quads, each containing four chromatic variations. It’s kind of a mash up of a number of geometries I’ve been studying, but most obviously it’s an exploration and complication of the maths underlying the early works of American legend Frank Stella. I first saw his beautiful, epic, artworks at MOCA in LA in 1991, and was completely blown away. So it’s been on my mind for a long time to try and unpack some of his thinking and riff on that beautiful style that came out of NYC in the late Sixties. I hope I’ve bought a little fresh thinking and technique to bear too. I’ll leave you to be the judge of that. The digital toolset, as ever, allows you to add layers of complexity, and fine tuning, that perhaps wasn’t always previously possible.

I’ve been working on a new series of sixteen drawings titled interStella / Quad. It’s kind of a
mash up of a number of geometries I’ve been studying, but most obviously it’s an exploration
and complication of the maths underlying the early works of American legend Frank Stella.
I first saw his beautiful, epic, artworks at MOCA in LA in 1991, and was completely blown
away. So it’s been on my mind for a long time to try and unpack some of his thinking and riff on
that beautiful style that came out of NYC in the late Sixties.
I hope I’ve bought a little fresh thinking and technique to bear too. I’ll leave you to be the judge
of that. The digital toolset, as ever, allows you to add layers of complexity, and fine tuning, that
perhaps wasn’t always previously possible.
As ever I find it easiest to discern in music. I’ve been listening to a lot of Laurel Canyon stuff,
and later seventies Stateside sounds, but however fabulous they may be, in many ways they
can’t compete with the cut and shut digital styling of recordings from the past few years.
interStella / Quad
The interStella folio comprises sixteen printed editions arranged into four
quads, each containing four chromatic variations.
My youngest son has been playlisting a lot of fabulous new music that I may well not have
stumbled across myself, and much of it has the most amazing production. Chelsea Cutler’s
‘Your Shirt’ is a particularly good example.
Fascinated by her post analogue production, I had a look on the boards and found this brilliant
explanation of what’s going on:
‘I hear this sound effect in a few different songs but it’s really apparent in Your Shirt. I’m talking
about that synthy voice thing that’s in the beginning as a lower part and higher part playing back
and forth that pops up throughout the song.
Step 1 - Scream into a mic whilst recording
Step 2 - Sample audio
Step 3 - Slap on some space designer and maybe eq it if you screamed too loud’
I love the idea of screaming too loud into the mic and then eq-ing the result. I feel that’s exactly
what I’ve been doing for a number of years!
Go way over the top, and then dial it back in, to discover a place that’s still further out than you
would’ve been able to reach if you’d come in from the other direction; not sure if that makes
total sense, but it does to me.

About the Artist
Chuck Elliott‘s practice is concerned with a fluid investigation of colour, movement, and light. Entirely computer
generated, free form shapes are cropped, recoloured, and enhanced as if editing in a camera view. Delighting in the
machines’ ability to hone and craft sculptural drawings, colour spaces are manipulated, light levels finely tuned, and a
myriad of images and series of derivations are produced using processes analogous to the way in which modern music
is realised. Hovering between printmaking and photography, these pure colour fields retain a clarity that belies the
source, reinterpreting the essence of abstract Fine Art printmaking for the digital age.
Education
1992 Graduated with a First Class (Hons) degree in Graphic Art from Middlesex University, formerly the Hornsey
School of Art.
