JAMES VAN IPO - Catart #6

# About the Artist – JAMES VAN IPO

**JAMES VAN IPO – Contemporary Mixed Media Artist | Austria**

James Van Ipo is an Austrian artist whose works explore the boundaries between digital art and physical materiality.

Under the artistic motto **"Between Code and Reality"** he combines digital image compositions with traditional and experimental finishing techniques.

His works are created in a multi-step process: digitally developed compositions are transferred onto high-quality image supports and subsequently hand-finished in the studio with epoxy resin and other materials.

Through deliberately applied layers of resin, three-dimensional structures, glossy accents, and relief-like surfaces emerge, delivering different visual effects depending on the lighting.

Characteristic of his artistic handwriting are clean lines, controlled digital disturbances, strong contrasts, and the fusion of precise digital design with individually executed artisanal interventions.

**Each physical work is a uniquely hand-finished one-of-a-kind piece (1/1).**

### Artistic Execution

The artwork is based on an originally developed digital composition and was subsequently refined in JAMES VAN IPO's studio with epoxy resin.

The hand-applied resin structures give selected areas of the image additional spatial depth, creating a play between matte surfaces, glossy elements, and light reflections.

This is not an untreated art print, but an independently hand-finished physical artwork.
