The festival\u2014where The Art Newspaper moderated a panel on artistic process\u2014has emphasised London\u2019s place as a digital art capital<\/a> with a particular emphasis on cross-disciplinary work. Such work can be found across multiple galleries participating in LGW: from LoVid\u2019s 25-year interplay with video and hand-stitched textiles at Gazelli Art House to David Salle, at Thaddaeus Ropac, developing and working with an AI model\u2014to painterly effect.<\/p>\n LoVid, Extant Maculata (2020) <\/p>\n \u00a9 The artist. Courtesy Gazelli Art House<\/p>\n LoVid, Threaded FrequenciesGazelli Art House, 39 Dover St, W1S 4NN<\/p>\n The interdisciplinary duo LoVid (made up of the New York-based artists Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) bring their ever-playful take on the blurred boundaries between physical and digital art to Threaded Frequencies. LoVid have been experimenting for nearly 25 years with sonic-dissonance and visual glitches in old-school video formats\u2014and their physical analogues in digitally imaged, hand-stitched, textiles.<\/p>\n The duo\u2019s show features cell-a-scape (2015), a four-and-a-half-minute video meditation on leaves and their technological simulation, played in sync with a rhythmic electronic sound track. Alongside this is Extant Maculata (Landscape) (2020), which was created through a process of what a gallery statement describes as \u201cdigital imaging, dye-sublimation, and hand embellishment\u201d.<\/p>\n David Salle: Some Versions of Pastoral. installation view at Thaddaeus Ropac London <\/p>\n Courtesy Thaddaeus Ropac gallery, London \u00b7\u00a0Paris \u00b7 Salzburg \u00b7 Milan \u00b7 Seoul.

The data sets they used, in a long process of trial and error, included Salle\u2019s thick-brush sketches of figures in space and the artist’s existing series Pastorals (1999-2000).<\/p>\n The AI generates intriguing machine-learning backgrounds that recall Salle\u2019s existing paintings. The artist prints them on linen as backdrops, then responds by painting overlapping, dramatised groupings of vividly pigmented everyday objects: fragmented figures, male and female, in bathing suits or sun dresses, plaid skirts and bikinis. The resulting work, expansively installed at Thaddaeus Ropac in Some Versions of Pastoral, represents a process that, Salle told The Art Newspaper<\/a>, has \u201cbeen so rewarding \u2026 [and] inviting [of] my intervention\u201d as an artist. In the process Salle\u2019s own \u201cability to respond with a brush\u201d has developed, he says, \u201cin addition to the machine imagery evolving\u201d.<\/p>\n Installation shot of M\u00e1t\u00e9 Orr, The Hills Are Not as Close as They Seem, at JD Malat Gallery <\/p>\n www.robharrisphotographer.com<\/p>\n M\u00e1t\u00e9 Orr, The Hills Are Not as Close as They SeemJD Malat Gallery, 30 Davies Street, Mayfair, W1K 4NB<\/p>\n The Hungary-born M\u00e1t\u00e9 Orr has an intriguing digital-first process for creating his folklore-infused, mildly uncanny paintings of human-animal interaction. The Budapest and Sicily-based former student of graphic design, printmaking and anatomy, starts by creating dark-and-light, notan-like compositions using the ubiquitous commercial design software Adobe Illustrator. Orr’s finished compositions in oils use a distinctly Surreal palette. <\/p>\n They maintain their digital \u201cedge\u201d in their portrayal\u2014reflected in titles like A Diver Attacked By Waterbirds, (2024) and An Unperceived Threat Is Still A Threat (2024)\u2014of humans going toe-to-toe, psychologically and physically, with the artist’s distinctly Mitteleuropean-fairy-tale school of swans, geese, heron and other awkwardly angular breeds of birdlife.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/022257cc582354aa938933ce61dbb5275e5de2a5-1400x1160.jpg\"\/)
