JAMES VAN IPO - Catart #9

# About the Artist – JAMES VAN IPO

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

JAMES VAN IPO is an Austrian artist whose work explores 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 arise from a multi-stage process: digitally developed compositions are transferred onto high-quality image carriers and then 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, which, depending on the incidence of light, create different visual effects.

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

**Each physical work is an individually hand-polished unique piece (1/1).**

### Artistic Execution

The artwork is based on a digitally developed composition created especially, and was subsequently individually refined with epoxy resin in the studio of JAMES VAN IPO.

The hand-applied resin structures give selected areas of the image additional spatial depth and create an interplay of matte surfaces, glossy elements, and light reflections.

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