The Use Of Appropriation In Albert Oehlen’s Computer Paintings

With the development of modern industrial civilization,the advancement of science and technology,and the rapid development of media,modern art has surpassed the limitations that traditional art forms can carry.In this context,the intervention of computer technology into traditional painting provides new possibilities for artistic creation and updates the public’s aesthetic experience.In the field of artistic creation,appropriation is also a very common technique.Artists not only imitate nature but also borrow from their own or others’ works,all of which fall into the category of appropriation.The development and transformation of appropriation have had a profound impact on modern art.In the context of technological intervention in artistic creation,appropriation has become more frequent and important.Therefore,appropriation has become an indispensable part of modern art creation and provides broader space for artistic innovation and development.As a pioneer of computer painting,Albert Oehlen tried to introduce computer technology into his painting creation since the early 1990 s,and started computer painting creation.This method of digital technology intervening in painting creation provides him with more flexible and diversified creative means,and at the same time makes the form and meaning of the works get a new development.From today’s point of view,his works have promoted the application of digital technology in the field of painting,and made positive contributions to the development of computer painting.This article mainly studies the use of appropriation in Albert Oehlen’s computer painting,and the entire article consists of four parts.The first part gives an overview of appropriation and computer painting,and explores the relationship between computer painting and appropriation.The second part describes the artistic experience of contemporary artist Albert Oehlen and the opportunity that led him to start creating computer painting.The third part specifically analyzes Albert Oehlen’s thoughts on the use of appropriation in painting creation,and how his computer painting works are created through technique appropriation and conceptual appropriation.The fourth part discusses the inspiration of Albert Oehlen’s use of appropriation in the author’s computer painting creation,as well as the expansion and innovation of technique appropriation and conceptual appropriation in personal creation.
